The D process is just frustrating. STBXW has come back and said she cannot sign papers unless certain things are removed taking away certain financial responsibilites for any travel she will incur coming to visit S. We can't seem to agree on financial ends, mostly because she is limited which I understand but she seems unwilling to make any sacrifices to her life in order to make this work.

BIL asked if he could come by some this weekend again. His W left him again and he is looking for some direction. Somewhere between beers he always drops some bit of intel at me that I'm ill prepared for and am frankly no longer interested in now. Aparently STBXW did get back together with OM1 over the summer and he had been staying with her up until about a month ago. They had some falling out though and she is now alone again.

Also, I got the strangest call from MIL yesterday who I haven't talked to in maybe 10 months. W is always spending time with her and I don't make it my business to seek out those people as she would find it prying on my part. MIL called to tell me that I might think she is not on my side but that its not true. She was very proud of all I've done and am doing for S and the rest of the family. I was surprised but thankful for the kind words. I left it at that rather than trying to debate the matter with her.

W is dropping S off tonight after her weekend and wants to talk about papers again. She says she can't sign them now, but I actually can't wait long. If it gets to the new year and I move without something in writing she could sue me. If we can't agree, I may have to re file for contested D and do this the hard way. I don't want to be the bad guy but I'm feeling manuevered.

Sorry to rant... : (
