Kids one weekend a month. I am going to leave my mom out of it. She has to realize that she is leaving and if the kids are in the way, then she has to find a place for them. I work weekends and cannot take a weekend off each month so that she can do whatever she wants to do. I would take time off if we patched things up and were together. But not now. She needs to hit that reality wall of a single parent/homeowner lifestyle. She is the one who wants to leave, she will be the one who has to deal with the problems of home ownership and single parenthood.
She just came back from individual therapy and announced that her therapist told her that she should get a divorce-after the first session. I wonder what she told the therapist in one meeting to make the therapist say that. Or if the therapist is any good.
She has also found a condo that she wants to buy. So I have given up and will now try to go from saving the family to trying to limit the financial damage that is coming. I still have a hard time believing that this is happening. I tried to reason with her but it is no good-I knew that before I even opened my mouth. It was a shock that she wanted to divorce at this point.
I called the MC and told him. He called me back at 9:30 pm and said that he couldn't believe it and that it was bordering on malpractice to reccommend divorce after one meeting. He also said that we had been making progress and he had given us a good chance to recover from everything.
She now wants to tell the kids ASAP. We'll have to see what is going to happen from here. I really hope it will not get ugly in court. But I am prepared if it does......
