W signed away physical custody earlier this year and the court accepted it over the summer. That said, W had attempted to restore her relationship with kids spending a few days a week with them (and one weekend a month), however, the teenagers are old enough that they saw right through the efforts as being about her and not them.
My daughter decided to stay there with her mom to finish High School - and she likes going to her therapist. Not sure how long all that's going to last, but if things get weird I have every right to go pull her out and bring her here.
As for the crazy... Yea. I just have to stop falling into the emotions of her texts and calls... Yesterday I sent an email to suggest we create a new stipulation as we have different custody arrangements now. With it, I'm insisting she starts to pay for half of the kid's expenses (which she ceased doing last Sept).
Every time I've attempted to do this in the past, she goes into complete meltdown saying she doesn't have any money – somehow she can still afford new clothes, hair extensions, eye lashes, nails, trip to Mexico with OM and going out a couple times each week, but whatevs...
Curiously, this morning I got a text with just a baby picture of our youngest from 5 years ago... no emotional flooding, no flaming, nothing, not even words. Might it be safe to assume she hasn't read my email yet? LOL
In any case, you're right. I just need to take my focus off of what and why she does what she's doing, and stay focused on these kids.
