Quick update, as my white anger reached the red anger for a few minutes this morning.
As I arrived to work D17 called me. She never calls at this time as she is at school. I answer and she is really upset.
She tells me that her mother was in a fit of rage all morning and directed it at my d. She received the finance agreement from her L, and she is mad about having to equalize some of the assets as it relates to our cars. She does not understand the legal details and ranted about having to pay me money and how women always get screwed in a d and, and how it is all my fault, and she hopes d17 can see how I am a bad person just trying to take all of the money, and why won't she just come live with her.
Then d17 says, "I just need to leave, I can't do this anymore." I ask her what she means. She says " I can't stay with her, and living with you just leaves me stuck in the middle, and I can't do this anymore."
The red, poppa bear anger swelled in me in that moment. The circus and monkeys are spilling onto my baby girls and I will not stand by for this much longer.
I validated d17 and encouraged her that I will do what I can to help her and support her. I also told her that the her l and my l are writing this up in accordance with the laws here, and that I am not making these decisions.
Fortunately my state is a no fault, split everything 50/50. So the WAW anger is all her own, and she should be speaking with her l, not my d.
Anyway I have a friend here that talked me off the ledge because the rage was at a high level.
D17 also texted me and thanked me for letting her vent and that she was feeling better, so I have returned to a state of calm for the moment .
Her circus, her monkeys, but how do I keep my babies out of the middle of the chaos of the 3 ring, clown driven, monkey infested tent?
This is my challenge.
