Do you see how she turns this into her being the victim? It's how she plays on your Mr Nice Guy. When you stand up for yourself is when she will change her feelings. this is a test.

forget about tonite unless you handle things


Well, I'd feel really uncomfortable locking her out of the computer. Like I had something to hide.

The thing is, I haven't retained a lawyer. We've both agreed that we don't want to "lawyer up" at this point. So I can't say that.

I think I'll just tell her that "I understand that you might get upset by hearing family give me advice to protect myself. But that's one of the side effects when families split up, and not something to gloss over."

I don't know about locking my computer. I'll have to think about it.
