A New Day

[Lifes Twists]

Nice quiet weekend. Things seem to be settling down. The girls spent most of the weekend with their mother. The dropped in a couple time to get things. My middle daughter did ask if we would have a real christmas tree this year. Last year they did not have really anything in the dark apartment they were in with their mother. I said of course we would have a tree. The girls seem to more and more look on this as their home again. There is no real talk that I hear of them moving back down to live with their mother. I remember when they originally moved how excited they were. Reality has set in and they see how much a home can mean to them.

I have been spending time helping my oldest two to get ready to start part time jobs. I have also been helping oldest to purchase a car for herself. Wife offered to get insurance for herself and daughters car. This makes it doable for us and will mean I will pay less each month as I will have 2 less drivers and one less car on my policy.

I have heard nothing from lawyer in about a month. I suspect there was no movement on FIL taking over wifes life. Best thing I did was to tell my lawyer to butt out and to hold back filling his coffers to spend. I will have to tweak him and see where things stand.

I have little to no contact with wife right now. I do keep and contact to one or two words. I do believe in her mental state she is fixated on the divorce solving all her problems and bring her happiness. I feel she needs to get past this and then maybe she will start to figure things out. I do not want to support it, but don't want to appear to be in the way of it happening. So, I will have to contact lawyer to see if we need to do anything to not appear to be obstructing it.
