WAW moved out, spewing anger, trying to detach

[SH_]

Yes it is really odd. So I responded to the text today and asked that she send me the link for the Blue book quote she claimed. I said I would be willing to discuss and review with her.

She did not respond, and as I picked up D5 this afternoon she asked me to split costs for swim lessons for d5 and I agreed. She then hugged d5 and said good bye. I asked if she received my text and she said yes. She then gave her smirk and eye roll and said, I just can't believe you. I said nothing and then she said just go and started to get wound up again, and I remained calm and did not react to any of what I now realize is a pattern of her " childish" behavior. I think she realized there was no reaction because as she was winding up to scream and yell again , she then just stopped. She said, I will print the papers and get you your ink. I replied okay and she turned and walked away and I did as well.

I feel really calm and I saw it clear today. The little things she does that usually incites me to defend or try and help her. Today neither mattered to me and I saw her as I would see a child throwing a tantrum.

I am feeling rather calm right now and kind of smiling as maybe a thread of detachment came loose today.
