Tad, I have been following your posts, mostly to know there is someone out there that is going through a similar situation to me. My XW was the same as you W....One day she woke up and was someone completely different.
I know you have heard this before but MAKE SURE you do what is best for you and your children in the negotiations. I made the MISTAKE of being really nice to my XW when we were negotiating our settlement. I was in such disbelief that it was actually happening that I figured I had to be nice to my XW as she was going to return. I lost a lot of money that was owed to ME because of this. Of course it never changed anything between us.
My XW is a bit different than yours. My XW goes out of her way to be nice to me, wants to spend time all together as a family, compliments me and goes all out on my birthday and Father's Day. I want you to know that it's just as hard/hurtful to be around her as if she was being nasty to me. I approached her (I know 2x4) to see where she was at will all this hanging out etc. She reiterated to me she has no interest in anything more now or ever. I had to cut the ties and try to drop the rope as it's just too painful. It hurts like hell to not be in contact with her but it hurts more to be in contact.
I know exactly your disbelief that this is happening and that your W has turned into who she is now.
I am sorry my friend. You are on the right path. Keep plugging along...I hear it get's better.
