Alpha Step At A Time #5

Well, things took a turn for the worse today.

My W came to our house to tidy it up a little before it goes on the market to be sold...hopefully soon.

She left a load of stuff in the front garden to be thrown out. All good stuff though that should be saved. She came to tell me she had done this. I went to the house and moved some of the stuff back into the house because I wasn't going to throw it away. She made demands over it being out of the house by a certain time. That's where the problem began.

Having had enough of her attempting to dictate terms to me, I told her exactly what I thought of her demands to have things moved according to her schedule. This resulted in quite an argument in the street. We were both relatively quiet, we weren't screaming and shouting, but I did call her a cheap tart and said I wanted nothing to do with her other than to exchange the kids. That was the end result of her smugly smiling, making her usual threats, saying she could be nasty and that she could take the children away and go through the courts and only have them see me once every two weeks. All unfounded nonsense of course but it did rile me a little.

I said I want the house sold asap and the divorce just the same. Her total change in personality means she is no longer appealing in anyway. It's like letting the patient take over the mad house. I really dislike her these days and I don't see that changing any time soon. Her frequent response to things was 'you can't control me and tell me what to do anymore'. She doesn't seem to realise that I have no interest in controlling her or telling her what to do, but when she does stupid things with our children or our possessions then I of course will have an opinion.

For anyone reading this thinking maybe she had a point and things do need to be moved out, yeah I understand, but as an example she left a bin bag with an E-reader sat on top of it in full view on the front step in the front garden. This wasn't done out of spite, jealousy, anger etc, it was done out of the complete lack of thought that seems to have enveloped her in recent times.

I know this post is little more than a rant but I do find it useful to put my thoughts down somewhere.
