Haha, that's awesome! I'm sure its not the way you wanted to go, but when they decide to become ugly you have to take action to defend yourself. I would have been happy with being very fair to her, but those days are over. No more Mr. Nice Guy lol.
No, its not. She came out swinging. I mean, no holds bard...and the things that came out of her mouth were unlike any I've ever heard. Same type of stuff that countless friends have told me. That's why I always say be prepared and protect yourself, just because you two may agree to be amicable during the proceedings doesn't mean it will happen. Case in point, my ex said yeah, we'll be civil and friendly and all. However, when it came time to go to court and all, she had staged pictures of the house to make it look unlivable for the kids and had stated that I was not of right, or sound, mind...never mind the fact that my lawyer had six suicidal texts she had sent me. He tore her a new one...
I don't say be mean, but do protect yourself. This isn't a game. And, don't give in to her guilt trips or whatever thinking that will bring you favor...
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
