I'll add a little bit to MLC craziness,
My STBXW MLC craziness is now over 2 yrs and she is pushing for divorce.
Her anger is getting worse both in her actions and the things she says. One would think since this is her choice and the seperation of property/assets is getting closer she would be more happy and the anger towards me/family would be less. It seems the opposite is happening.
Other opposites that are noticed during the process. She use to be a very generous person. Giving to the needy, helping out people in various ways. As it stands now 2 of the kids live with me full time and 1 about 60-70%.
During the splitting of property she wanted the kids furniture to be split as she put it on a list to be seperated. Of couse I would not let that happen but to her in her current state this seemd a perfectly acceptable request. There were a couple of other items on the list such as food which she wanted split even though she moved out 9 months ago.
Really? I have to chuckle because to do anything else gives her story more power than it is worth.

After 2+ years of this stuff I realize my role in this is to be the best father I can be. To allow the kids to aske me questions and not judge my STBXW and her crazy antics but to gently show them the reality that is our lives right now and to be OK with it.

They have commented that life is smooth and more fun at the house. Less drama.

As far as an end to the hostilities. it looks like it will go on for a while. You would think it would be the opposite the closer to divorce it gets.
