I think my W temp checked me today as i was driving back from running some errands I see my W in front of me driving. She notices me behind her and I do not look in her rear view to see if shes looking I try not to let her see me looking. Well we get to the house and she leaves me the driveway, she was in front of me and parked in the street. Then as we are walking in she says " I bet you thought I was going to take the Driveway" I answered "NO". That was that, nothing more.

Just got back from the gym ran another 5 miles and did some ab work, S21 says dad you are starting to get some abs... I said thanks. He sometimes goes to the gym with me.

So an area of concern popped up the other day and S21 is somewhat mad at W. My son is close to joining a LE agency and the agency visited the house and wanted to interiew neighbors to find out what kind of family we are, well W opens her mouth and says oh dont visit that neighbor b/c kids used to play knock and run on her. So they then go right to that house, the neighbor spoke nothing but nice words about us but the damage was done. He really laid into her to keep her mouth shut. He asked me to speak with her and I told him it was between him and her.

I saw AnotherStander write that we need to detach without being cold and distant, I find this to be very difficult. I can and have detached but I can see how I seem cold and distant.

Also I have gone over all the financial stuff with my L and accountant and I will benefit financially from a D. All my children with the exception of D18 will have to get their own places to live. I refuse to buy my W out of the house, I also do not feel like paying for this house twice as the equity is greater than what we paid 23 years ago.
