Hey there Jack-

Funny. I just looked here.

Haven't posted in a while... things are just still pretty dark.

Was cooped up w/ wife and kids over the snow in over last weekend and had its usual ups and downs. It should have been fun-- and was at times with the boys but it was very tough being there with her... then we watch the superbowl and she asks me to sit next to her and then falls asleep with her head lying right next to me... then the next morning back to old tricks...its all just a game she is playing to cake eat.

She is just on such a streak of pathalogical lying (new leather couch was there that she said her sister bought her-- but I know did not-- obviously a present from OM).

She takes me for a ride, acts nice... then not.

I have had to wrestle control of the finances from her over these last few days-- there is a line of credit that she told me she was paying interest on that has gone into litigation that I just found out about-- was dealing with that today- as she was lying to me all day about talking to some fictitious "lady" who said it was fine and just needed to be re-written. I called her on the lies. This is getting into serious business here, so I cannot just say "fine" to these lies that are financially destroying me.

she is like poison. She has the unnerving ability to look me dead in the eye without blinking, blushing, or looking away and just completely tell me the most fabulous lies.

She is cruel, heartless...

I am visiting a friend out west. going to do some skiing... but meanwhile I have spent the day going through the finances and trying to get a grip on things.

I have been a doormat-- allowed her to walk all over me and manipulate me and make me miserable these last 7 months... and ruin me fincancially. but I am trying to gain some self respect and move on with things. She is so long gone-- I do not see any sort of good end to this-- anytime soon that is for sure.

I am having exchanges with her regarding how big a deal it is that this loan has gone into litigation and she sends me a self portrait she took of the two of us last weekend. serious mind games she is trying to play.
