Hello Sandi,

The cell phone was an issue from long ago b/c as our children got older and started their careers I wanted them to pay for their own phones, of course she wanted me to continue to pay so that they could get a good headstart in saving for their future.

Looking back now on yesterday's convo it does seem punitive I will not do that again. So should I just keep paying it? Have her pay her share? Also while this convo happened my W started to tear up and broke out in hives all over her neck and face. She looked like she was in a panic.

Currently three of the oldest children still live at home but they all work full time, the youngest is away at school. They all have an idea about whats going on and are seeing my W act in some strange ways. Oldest D23 said to me to stop letting mom be a B***h to you. That was a wake up call that the kids were noticing her disrespect towards me.

We went to dinner a few months ago and my W, who never would argue with a waitress started and fight with the waitress over a glass of water, it was very uncomfortable... this is so out of character for her.

I will not make any moves without posting here first to get opinion so here goes:

We have a function tomorrow that we both need to attend for one of our children the seats are together and we will need to take a train to get there. Do I go with her? do I pay for the tickets for the train? Do we sit together? I mean right now I am the devil to her so she may not want to go.

Sandi I struggle with posting more information b/c its so identifiable. The last thing I need is for her to see this thread.
