No. I have never threatened her before. I might have acted like a big time douche, but never have I before done something so horrendous. I honestly must have blackouted during part of this breakdown as I don't remember all of it. Not an excuse by any means. I choose to drink what I drink. Alcohol is not the excuse I'm using here. The weird part is that she has said that I said / did several things that I probably did not (eg "upset the kids...they were crying"). I went to apologize to them ASAP that morning and each of them individually denied anything. W also said I got us kicked out of the bar , where's FIL told me that he made everyone leave (he knows the owner). Kind of irrelevant points, but hay wondering how much W is adding on to my breakdown. Part of me has to question how fearful she truly is..after all, she is giving me time to move out, she left me alone with the kids so she could exercise? Really? Questioning here, not her of course. One thing for certain is that I hurt her feelings big time. I was in the wrong, no doubt about it. Hence me reiterating q similar apology to what you 2 suggested. As far as moving out, I'm unsure at this moment. I did mention my mom about the even united drastic turn of events (eg may need to stay there for awhile).
