Here's a story...of a very sad lady

[Dagny-2]

Your right, Mishka, it is the old shoot the messenger philosophy. Part of my philosophy was to threaten him with filing for cause and making his life difficult at work if he filed in TN, since I want the PA courts to have it if we are living there. So I shared that PA will give me less $ than TN. Then he kept asking me questions and I, stupidly, kept answering them. I'm too open, I share too much, I need to stop that.

Another hard part about this, once I decide on leaving, Dad won't be 20 minutes away, he is going to be 12 hours away, the kids need to change schools again. I know it is his doing, but it is the kids that suffer. And isn't this a repeated theme all across the world?

He called 3 times in the afternoon/evening last night, I ignored the first 2 and let the kids answer on the 3rd and he asked to talk to me, we spoke very briefly, I didn't do anything to maintain the conversation, so it was very short. Then he called this morning at the same time the alarm goes off just to say hi. It is very bizzare. He doesn't make this dark easy, when he keeps calling me!

So question, when he is making these "hi" calls, am I pleasant (dbing--being the better "option" --which I am, he is just too stupid to know that and since he is so stupid, why do I want him back--oops sorry, tangent there) or am I short to get the point across that we aren't friends, I'm not his chatting buddy anymore, he lost that privledge. I like it best when I can just ignore his phone calls, but when the phone rings and I'm sleeping, I tend to answer without thinking!
