I guess the detente was too good to be true. Meager as it was.
I got an email from xW this evening concerning the meeting with S5's teachers. She launched into the most insane, hate-filled diatribe I have seen from her in a long time. Even for her it went beyond the pale. She blames me for S5's emotional issues, that because I "keep him from his mother" during my week of custody S5 is now acting out and having emotional incidents at preschool. She accused me of hating my children and wishing to punish them for participating in her wedding. And then she went off on some wild tangent trying to rewrite the order of events about when the children knew about her plans to marry, thoroughly contradicting herself several times over. It was the biggest confused jumble of insane spewing nonsense.
I now look back and realize this email from her represents the actual thought processes going through her warped mind this afternoon during the meeting -- all the while I thought we were both focused on the teachers and child counselors trying to discuss and find solutions for S5. Not so.
<Sigh> I am doubly convinced now that my ex is hopeless -- a sick, twisted person, and it is stuff like this that has been stressing me out for over three years now. No wonder my kids are having such reactions.
Uuuuugh! Classic mistake: Arguing with an insane person has made me insane.
