Wow. I really need help. I talked with her tonight, told her that I will not be moving out, I'll be sleeping in the bed, And I do not plan to move to another state after the school year. I was very calm. I implemented advice to talk about my choices rather than her and even though I think I was a bit wordy when I should have been direct, I think I was clear. And then the fireworks began. She cried a little bit, then she started yelling. I couldn't follow completely, but it started with saying that I was being mean and vindictive (I had started by saying that I hope she doesn't feel these choices are mean or vindictive, as that is not my intention, but they are choices for me and what I will do for myself). Then she was talking about her moving out and how I just want to take the kids away from her. Then she got up and picked up a crystal gift I gave her right before we got married and smashed it on the hearth. Then she grabbed an engagement photo and smashed it and ripped it up. I don't know how many of those she went through (4-5). I restrained her a bit at one point. Strange that it wasn't that hard. She is usually very strong; she's an athlete. But I got at least one large glass picture frame away from her. Our son came down the stairs hysterical. I took him back up and got him in bed. (I wrote the above last night while she was walking. When she got back, I put the computer away. The next post will be just a summary.)
