The weird part, she asked me to ask my parents to pay for the whole thing! W viewing my parents as the piggy-bank is wrong. Work has picked up for me and so I am happy to pay for half, and I saw parents for lunch today and they gave me $100. W was happy to hear that I had $300 of the $400, and she would try and find the last $100.
Wet, does that ^^^ sound like a self-aware, adult, to you?
Since you have older kids, some who have moved out and begun their lives, you have been through this process. Compare how your D is fairing, her attitudes, etc., to how your W thinks and acts, or any average 18-20 year old...see anything?
I'm going to repost a comment from kat that you side-stepped:

She thought because you were going to be a lawyer that you guys were going to be rich, that didn't happen after the kids were mostly raised she left and is looking for a sugar daddy. Is this who you want?
Because you stepped around that ^^^, maybe that tells me there is something there, possibly...maybe... ??
