Well, standoff is over! Here is an email from her:
"Well, I talked to a lawyer here who can medeate for us. The many things we need to still decide are childsuport and debt, I was thinking, if it is good to you, instead of touching houses we say we both own half. ? And instead of touching retierment, you take on that much more of the debt. I have no desire to take money for myself, only want to be fair to the kids and for you to relize that I gave a lot to you so you could make the money you do know and have made the last 13 years. So, child supo"
Yeah, cut off mid-word. I don't know what else she meant to say. HELP?!?
So this is an abrupt end to a fairly long chapter. I had totally dropped the rope for several months. I often was worried that I was being hurtful or standoffish in my "giving her space." Part of it was I didn't feel capable of interacting calmly while she was actively involved w/OM.
Anyways, I'd love any feedback or advice. I'll try to post more often now that things are going to start happening.
