Thanks LT and deju, Independence. She wants to show her independence is exactly what my teenage D's did and are doing. That is a normal part of the human growth process. I now realize that MLCers are like teenagers but with the power to destroy everything in their path. The destruction they all reek upon us LBS's is exactly what would happen if teenagers had the same power as a 40 something year old adult. I can't imagine how much damage I would have done when I was 15-17 years old if I had had the power to destroy my family like my W does. MLC is like they are going through adolescence all over again and we LBS's are mom or dad. What a horrible way to live your life. Of course what a horrible thing to have to experience for LBS as well!
I have decided that I will do what I must. If she won't listen, so be it. I will tell the IRS that I have tried to cooperate with her but she has refused, make my own deal and leave her in the dust if I have to. The problem is that without her cooperation the odds are I won't get any where near the deal I would with it. I can't let her screw this up for me! I will try my best and that's all I can do.
Wish me luck people. Pray I can get her to do one last thing right and then I will leave her to do whatever she wants with the time she has left in her life!
