WW sent me a TM this morning asking if I had heard anything back from my attorney about the temp support order. Recall that the spousal support number came back really high, with the child support she owes me being very low, in spite of the fact I have all 3 minor children around 95% of the time. I initially ignored her, but then she asked again so I replied that my attorney had suggested I object, based on some numbers not being correctly calculated.
Of course, WW was not happy to hear this, since she was very happy with those initial dollar amounts. It would allow her to only have to work a couple of days/week and live off my support for the rest. So the TMs start flying talking about how little money she makes, how we had initially agreed on a certain amount (not true), and how I was trying to make sure she got nothing. I didn't bother replying to any of it, and she finally stopped.
Her sense of entitlement is truly staggering. She expects that 18 years of M gives her the right to collect a monthly paycheck from me for the next 7 years. Forget the fact that I fully supported her for the entire M and she rarely had to work a job at all. Yes, she took care of the kids when they were babies, but she also checked out of the M almost 5 years ago and was gone so often that I became the primary caregiver, while she was out living up the single girl lifestyle and hooking up with a series of OM. I have no sympathy at all and will be fighting to keep every dime I can in my own account. If WW would simply get a new job, or even pick up a 2nd PT job, she wouldn't have financial issues, but she prefers to work the bare min, and then complain about what a victim she is to anyone who will listen, and of course it's all my fault.
That sort of attitude has helped me detach from WW, and I've lost any interest in even talking to her lately. I still love her but don't like who she has become. But I'm doing really well overall, so looking forward to a bright future, and getting all the D proceedings behind me.
