Busting this Divorce - Moving Out

[HPoirot]

Just and update... me and s11 are in the condo. No problems getting here...

When W came back, S11 and I we're ready to go. We loaded up the car. W talked with s11. I was polite and upbeat. Answered W's questions very businesslike. W mentioned she now has a rental car for the week when last night she said she didn't have or want to spend money on that. She did not say she needed me to pay for half the car. Also mentioned she left this morning to get the key to where she was staying.

When we were done loading the car, and s11 was in the car, I went back inside. W was standing with her back to me. I asked "is there anything else?" She turned and said "no that's it." She was starting to cry. She walked over to me close looking in my eyes. I looked at her evenly. I was ready to go. She stood right in front of me. I did not go to hug her. Neither did she. I said "see you later." As I walked to the door she says behind me.... "If he needs me please call me and let me know." I say, "sure." I walked out the door and drove away.

But I forgot my coat! So I drive back 10 minutes later. She comes to the door and exclaims... "What's wrong?" I see she's been crying. I simply say I forgot my coat, get it and go to leave. She goes out to the car to talk with S11 again. She laughs to me about something s11 said. I acknowledged her, got back in the car, and drove away for the last time.

...

We've been here in the condo for a couple hours. S11 already says he's going to have fun living here. He's taken over the PC here and is watching his videos. He really likes his room. There is a candy machine in the basement here so I sent him down to get some chocolate. We had the leftover Chinese food for lunch. Dad was good enough to leave beers in the fridge. I am enjoying beer and chocolate while watching the pre-game shows. Dad called to check in. All's great. I'm feeling great PMA. Starting to relax...

Then, just as I sit to write this post... I get a text from W... "How are things?"

I want to ignore that completely.

So my first condo phase question... Do I answer these texts from W about how "things" or S11 is doing when she can just call him direct (though he may hang up the phone)?

Replying "S11 is fine." is the polite thing to do. At the same time, she knows to contact me only if she has an s11 emergency as I've told her twice.

In any case, thank you all again for your help and for your support in me getting to this condo with s11. Wonka, I likely would have never thought to move here without W. I can't imagine the hell if she was here with us now. And then to actually make it happen... to tell her and then stand up to her begging... with all of your help after all the hell and manipulation she put us through. For her to just stand aside today and watch us leave seemed impossible a couple days ago. It still bothered me she was acting like we're just going on a little adventure while we were around... but to see her crying when we came back unexpectedly... maybe there's hope for her. I wish her well.

Right now, S11 is happy, I am relaxed, and football is on the big screen.

We're going to be great.
