Need advice for a WW who left Part 4

[dwh15]

Just had a 3-hour convo with WW. It was quite an interesting night. We spent about half the time just catching up and talking like old times. Was a lot of fun. But then we got down to the business of discussing child custody, which was the point of the meeting. As I figured, we're not even close to an agreement. She pretty much expects 50% on the 3 minors, when reality the past few months hasn't been anywhere near that. Oh, she tried laying on the tears, being a mean b!tch, every wayward trick in the book. I didn't go for any of it, and I don't think she knew how to handle herself. When she left, she was practically in tears, and I just wished her a good night and said I would see her at the hearing next week.

We also got into some talk about what went wrong in the M, and I heard more of her complaints than she had ever voiced before. And I owned up to every one of them, apologized, said I wished I could change things, but that was the past, and all I can do is be better going forward. She's also noticed a lot of my changes, but instead of being happy, is almost resentful about them, wondering why now. Why did she have to leave before I made these kinds of changes. So I think she's having a lot of regret, but she still clings to OM, and still has a very wayward mindset. And in spite of me dropping hints about the true OM#1, she still won't admit it. She sticks to her bogus story of the last guy as OM#1, when I know for a fact he was at least #2, and possibly #3. She may never admit it, but guess it doesn't matter anymore.

I do feel bad for WW and think she's got a hard life ahead, but she made the bad choices. She still doesn't see it that way. In fact, she doesn't even consider that she's cheating now, because she "emotionally divorced" me years ago. Nice of her to tell me that now. One positive is that she did admit to having low self-esteem, which I know has always been a problem for her. But no idea if she will ever seek the kind of therapy she needs to really deal with her issues. All I can do now is keep working on me, get all this business of custody settled and move on.
