A WW? (5)

[lt0402]

Fade and DonH, tough but good and needed feedback. Home late from a GAL tonight but will respond tomorrow.

Quick journaling. Got home from pool tonight. Good time and good break from things, though I remain exhausted. Walk in the door and W asks if we can talk for 2 minutes. First she goes into a story about how a college friend is coming home to visit about 3.5 hrs from here. It's about 1hr from OM and in his state. She'd like to go down Saturday to see her and some other friends and come back Sunday. Exact same MO as previous two trips to see OM. She tells me she's not sure it'll happen, blah, blah, blah. But she may go if it does. Same lead up she did to the last two times she went to see OM.

It was strange. Almost like she was asking permission. I'm not mind reading, but common sense is she is going to see OM. It doesn't hit as hard as it used to, surprisingly. However, I'm wondering if there's someway I should react to it. Either with her or with the Ls. She's a very smart woman, but she's a horrible liar for some reason. There's about 50 other ways she could have spun this and previous visits to not make them seem like what they were. Open to thoughts.
W was extremely nice and not combative in this dialogue which is vastly different than any other dialogue we have had the past 2 months which have all been spew. She acted the same way when she tried to lie about OM trips #1 and #2. If this is a trip to see OM it'd explain why she's been pressing me so hard for D info for the agreements lately. Also explains why the past 3 weeks she's been eating almost nothing and exercising more than usual. Not going to detective mode. Just noting the inconsistencies and looking for opinions on how to react.

Second, earlier today I told her last week I'm going to my Ds parent teacher conference in 2 weeks. She is welcome to come to, but I'm definitely going. After the first discussion above, W brought up the idea that we allow D9 to stay home alone while we are both there for an hour. Complete reversal on that and not my overly controlling W. Unsure what that's about. She asked my opinion, again unusual, and I told her I'd think about it and we could discuss later.

Strange. I feel nothing with regards to her trip right now. More confused about D thing and shocked by Ws inability to craft a real story. W told me she wouldn't go visit OM so long as we were still M but I never really believed that.

Co parenting counselor tomorrow for me. They want to meet us individially first. W meets them later in the week. Be interesting to see how that is. Maybe I'll run the above by her. I also have my IC on thurs so we will see what he says to.

Will respond to fade/don in the am. Thanks guys, know that you are extremely appreciated!
