Regarding lawyers and D, I never really thought about it too much because I still had a vague hope that we could resolve things and that she would apologize or at least really give MC a go , or something. Thats clearly not going to happen. I'm in the middle of getting my US citizenship so I'm trying not to rock the boat and just get it done. Thats priority #1, then on to D.
I really see what she has done to me. Even this morning she is itching for a fight/reaction by sending me really cranky emails, texts about school stuff. I'm keeping it cool although I wanted to really throw out a couple truth darts about OM and their vacations etc but it just adds fuel to her fire. She's never wrong and will try to turn it around on me. She is dangerous when cornered and I dont know what she's capable of. So, I'm just cool as f**k, pleasant and detached. Its driving her crazy and its giving me a kind of guilty pleasure..lol
I forgive her, I really do. I wish her the best. I want her to be happy for our girls. Whatever she happens, she was a great mom. She needs help now and I hope she gets it. I will keep an eye on her drinking though and will probably mention this weekend to her. I may have to get her parents involved but we'll see how things play out.
I think I finally may be able to start giving advice to newbies now. I've definitely earned my degree at this stage :-)
Have a great day everyone!
