I'm torn between starting a new thread and posting on this one which bears a tittle to which I am perfectly drawn....

X served notice she wiil be taking custody of our children immediately after she learned I am engaged.

I met with X upon the next convient occasion, thought all was well.

Today X was shocked (as was myself) to learn we had very different impressions of our last discussion ( re: children). She thought, of course, that she would be taking basically full custody of our kids. I informed her that was not my understanding. She turned to DS and asked what he thought the new arangement would be. He hesitated and replied, "Im confused, I guess I thought I would be living with you.". To which I quickly added, "Because that's what you mother said would be happening?" and he nodded, "Yes".

Later today X says, "I love you". I scoweled and asked, "Huh?.... Why?" She responded, "Cause you brought my kids to me."

I think the poor thing is crazy. I think she's trying to control everything.I think she operates on emotion and impulse. I think it may become very ugly when
she get what she wants....

I spent the day with DS, allowed DD to be with X before concert tonight. DS asked, "Dad, what if you came to get us and mom had a gun and wouldn't let us leave?"

This is the same kid who once remarked, "Mom's a little crazy."

"Out of the mouths of babes...."

"The answers are within you" (can't remember who). Unfortunately, so is the bullshit.
