After that I only transfered my S's School amounts (half to be precise) into the joint account and I then replied to any requests for funds with "I'm sorry but I am not funding your A nor your single lifestyle"

Thats what I did .. not saying it would work for you ... but I would not feed her cake, her choices have consequences ... she should look for work ... granted when/if the D goes through you might have to pay .. cross that when it comes.


Thanks Cali. I love your response to your WW about the savings account. I completely dropped the money discussion with mine today. Never replied to her last text as I didn't feel like getting into a pointless debate. She didn't send any other texts regarding it but I'm sure she's royally pissed. And I think she feels she's somehow paying me back by not taking the kids tonight. Makes no sense to me, but the kids are fine with it and so am I. In fact, I prefer they be with me. They are all getting REAL used to not seeing mom. It's really sad and I hope things don't stay this way forever but I feel like I'm the only responsible parent they have right now, and I am not going to prioritize the feelings of WW over those boys. I'm assuming this is typical WW behavior and she will calm down in a few days, and probably come back nicer than ever, as if nothing ever happened. But I'm finally getting to the point that I don't let her emotions control how I feel. In fact, I'm actually in a pretty good mood for a change. Taking kids to a zoo tomorrow. More updates soon.
