W never shoed up at noon yesterday. Finally sent me a text at 5:00 asking, "Can we do this now?". The kids and I were at a cook out at a friend's house. I didn't respond. Left my phone on the counter and when I checked it an hour later, I had 7 missed calls from her. Went home and I was getting the kids ready for bed, and she shows up in the driveway. I ask her to leave and she says she wants to see the kids. It was late and I did not want to deal with her BS, so I go back inside and she comes do the door and repeatedly rings the door bell nonstop. Same thing every time. She shows up wanting money, and then turns things around saying she wants to see the kids and I'm keeping them from her. I called my parents to come over, so there would be a third party around, and she called the cops. Not sure what they told her, but she was getting ready to leave and asked if I was going to give her the $200 for the ring. This is the one mistake I made. When she held the ring out, I snatched it from her hand and went inside. I know I shouldn't have done it, but I was mad and my emotions got the best of me. She went to the police station and said I stole the ring, and the cops showed up saying I had to give her the money or the ring. I ended up giving them the money. Weird part is, they said the ring was marital property, so I'm not exactly sure how I could steal it. Because the past couple of times she has called them to try to take things from the house, they informed me that if she broke into the house and took things, I couldn't do anything about it because the things were marital property. Anyway, mistake on my part. Can't be undone. Meeting with a lawyer this week to proceed with D and get custody of the kids...
