I'm bemused!

First, W failed to call my S,as promised, on Monday evening. I'm guessing that's guilt on her part leaving him on the dinner time. She failed to call him yesterday, and on my D's birthday today, I called, she didn't answer and gave it immediately to my D, who was then suppose to give it to S to talk. His communication is poor, so passed it on to me. W tried to end the conversation very quickly.

W sent me a text later asking if me and S were back from our shopping trip (we were off to buy D her present), despite me saying I'd tell her when. I replied and gave her a time to pick S up. She texted a couple of hours later to change that.

When W pitches up to pick up S (with my D, whom I gave present too etc.) she proceeded to tell me she didn't want me to have S this weekend after all and that she thought I could do with some different furniture!

So, really what's all this been about? I am beginning to think this is a massive anchor exercise (test to see if I will still do things for her [check]; test to see if I am still attached [check]) and I'm not sure what to do next. I certainly don't want to harm my relationship with my children, and certainly don't want to be seen as a hard ass, but I don't want this, otherwise it'll never end. Her mood has changed too from monster to genial.

Back to NC? Well, that's the plan, but is it working? I'd say not, but I can't think of an alternative. Is she near the bottom? Maybe, but she just can't get there.
