Speaking of fears, I have a sneaking suspicion that W is positioning herself to take back the MB. I am quite paranoid these days, I'll admit, but she was back in the MB when I got home from work a few days ago. She fell asleep there until the late evening, then she went to the basement while I was putting the kids to bed. I think she has been further empowered by the ILs recent visit. If I kick her out again, she can accuse me of being the villain to the kids. She has no compunction lying about me and word has spread to my hometown (600 miles away) that I am threatening her life and cutting off her money (both lies, obviously).
I don't hold much sway over her these days and I am not sure what I will be able to do if she physically returns to the MB. Does anyone have any advice?
