The money she has taken is her own money (to hide in advance of a D). At the moment she is contributing more than me towards bills etc.
Before W left, I started saying that her abusive behaviour wasn't acceptable to me. She left saying she has no respect for me whatsoever - which I think is based upon resentment of me being a responsible parent and her struggling with it, plus her becoming the higher earner.
After, I have stood-up to W messing me around over seeing the kids and she has backed down a lot.
W has stopped interrupting me when I speak. When she talks in a bad way to me, I tell her to speak to me nicely and then she does.
W use to get jealous but I had assumed that would have stopped as she left. It seems W now suspects I might have someone else.
It is genuinely very difficult for me to get used to being apart because we had spent more than half of our lives together rarely apart.
