Good morning everyone, Another day another problem. Several years ago before my W went back to work, her grand mother had an estate sale when selling her home. My wife insisted on buying many pieces of furniture, art work, etc. It cost us several thousand dollars and emptied our bank account at the time. I didn't even want most of it but since it meant a lot to my W, I went ahead and did it.
Now my W is taking all of it saying it's "her family" stuff! She needs furniture, I get that but I really don't think it's right for her to take all that. She also is taking a chair we just bought last summer, the nicest piece of furniture we have that's not an antique. She's leaving a couple chairs that were her grand mothers but are ugly and worthless! She also seems to think she gets to keep things that her family gave us when we got married like silver and plates (all valuable) because it's "her" family stuff. This stuff was given to us, not her and is the most valuable stuff we own. Doesn't seem right that she get all of it.
Anyone know anything about this? I could call my lawyer and ask him but that costs money. This is part of what really bothers me about how my W is going about things. She thinks she can control the entire process. Like the way she acted when all I did was say I didn't like the idea she had about 7days/7days custody arangement. She freaks out when something might not go as SHE plans. This is all part of her D isn't bad or painful fantasy. So far she has been getting her way but I have a feeling she's going to have to face the truth soon as she is moving out.
Last night she took our D14 to see the house she rented. Of course she went to the phone store first and my D got all excited about that! W has been buying her stuff and being so much nicer to her than she has in years (ever!). If I didn't know that as soon as she gets what she wants (D14 wanting to live with her), she's going to go right back to being the way she has all along, I would be happy for my D as she has 't had much of a relationship with her mom. Of course my D is loving the attention and has wanted her mother to be like this forever. Who knows what's going through her head.
I'm sure someone here must have had some experience with this kind of "family" stuff issue and I'm wondering how they resolved it. Thanks!
