Came home early so I could see the kids before going to my Divorce Care meeting tonight. On the way home, my L calls to tell me that stbxw's L wants to go to mediation rather than talk now to see if we can resolve the case. So, unless stbxw changes her mind, we will be paying 3 L's not the 2 we really can't afford!
I get home, see the kids. Hug them and ask how their day went. Then, the phone rings. I answer it and it is the stbxw of one of my friends (friends stbxw is in a full out PA and is unashamed about it - she's "entitled" to it). I know this woman is a toxic influence on my stbxw and I know this harlot has said some very ugly things about me. I answer with a "Hi," She says, in a really sappy sweet voice, oh, hi, how are you. I don't say anything. She says well, uh, is Lisa there? Yeah. And I hand the phone to my stbxw. Funny, my stbxw didn't want to talk to the adulterer. Whatever.
SO, I bugged out of the house, and am at a coffee shop until my Divorce Care meeting tonight. W seemed surprised (and she should be) that I was "going out." She has forfeited her right to know where I am going. As long as the kids are ok, then to hell with her. You want to be on your own sweetie, well this is what it will be like. Enjoy.
I am in control, despite my snarky post. Hurt, yes. But, in control.
