well, now I'm in a pickle for sure. I took the girls out to dinner last night and they told me the MIL has been talking bad things about me. She said I was drinking again, that I was sleeping with other women when I was with their mommy, that I beat her.

All LIES. I told them it was lies and that sometimes adults say things to hurt each other that aren't true. I asked my Ds if they believed that and they said no. I told them that I love them very much and that anything that has to do with Mommy and Daddy has to do with us and not them. We BOTH love them very much.

I then talked to W about it and she didn't deny it but she did say that I was saying the same thing. This is a blatant lie. I have NEVER talked bad about either my W or my MIL to my kids. My kids are pretty smart kids and know what is going on. They will say things like, why if only 1 in 4 wants a divorce, do we all have to?

I got accused of saying that to my EIGHT year old. I did nothing of the sort. When she asked me that, I said that a divorce is only between a mommy and a daddy. Both don't have to want a divorce. My W is telling me that I'm trying to turn them against her...it's insane!

Also, the older D doesn't want to live with W. She told me that many times. I NEVER led her to believe that this could happen OR encourage her. I tell my W this and she says that the D is simply trying to play us off each other...YET - when the same D tells W that she wants to live with ME, W accuses me of telling her that!!! So it's only convenient when it benefits the W!!! The D is saying the EXACT SAME THING!!!

I want to fight for them bc what they are doing is wrong!

Now, I can't even talk to the W bc she wants all communication to go through...wait for it...the MIL!!!!

this is just insane...At least I'll be talking to my atty today...
