@MagicJack - I already got paperwork, but she is reconsidering.
@Labug/gabbysmom- I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm her father. Step father, sure, but I have raised her every day for over 3 years, she calls me Dad. I have spent way more time with her than W has because W usually used to spend 12-14 hours a day sitting in bed watching TV or on her phone. I understand I have no legal claim.
W knew what was going on, she knew I had her, knew where I was going, and she started blowing up my phone after I had driven about 200 feet. How did she know I just didn't have my phone in my pocket or something? My point was that if I dare miss a call or text, she will send it like 20 times, or call and call and call. If I send a text or leave a VM, it may be two days later before its responded to, if at all. Yeah, I probably was being a little vindictive. I apologized to W for the confusion, and she was actually very nice, she even came down later on.
So NEW story: My two kids and I had been talking about going to a new church that had a better program for pre-teens/teens because our church has nothing. D10 told D13 that W and them hadn't been going to church, so we were going to go to a new church that W and I had tried out a few months ago. W texted me getting all mad saying that it was her new home church, and now she'd have to go find a new church. (Side note: W admits that God has told her not to get divorced, but she ignores it, and still goes to church. Sigh)
So, I just was nice, said fine, we'd stay at our church, I simply was interested in getting something better for the kids. W texted me later and said she didn't know what was going on, and was sorry for being nasty about the church thing.
W: "Maybe I'll feel different about you going there after awhile" Me: "After the divorce you mean?" W: "Not necessarily. But I don't know." Me: "I understand. I assume you're as confused about this week as I am." W: "Yes."
So I just left it at that. S11 invited D10/S5 to a horse parade downtown today so we'll see what happens.
