W had been saying she was going to take the kids tonight. My L got onto her L to say there needed to be an agreed plan in place beforehand.
W and FIL arrived. They seemed surprised that I had a relative with me as a witness. W didn't ask to take the kids. Instead she helped get them ready for bed. W & I read books with them. W was acting over the top too happy. She couldn't look me in the eyes and there was a massive emotional wall from her side. I felt very detached yet a bit sorry for her.
W told the kids that she is coming back to see them tomorrow evening right after she finishes work. W hadn't even asked me if that was OK. I asked her why and she said because the kids are upset. They were not upset. I said we were going for a meal tomorrow. She said she would be coming too (invited herself). I said it would be during the day when she is at work.
W took each of the kids into the bathroom and locked the door. She quizzed them.
W came into my (our) bedroom and I asked her if she agreed with the childcare plan. She wouldn't say either way but said something about taking the kids back home to live. I said "this is their home". She asked me to turn the music down as she couldn't hear me clearly. The music was barely audible and it was at the far side behind us. I then asked if she was recording us. She then acted weird and leaned towards me (I'm certain she's recording) and crossed over her fingers. I noticed she's done that same thing with her fingers in the past when I'd asked if she had been seeing anyone. I think it's like when a child crosses their fingers when they lie.
It seems obvious that W is incredibly emotionally charged and putting on a happy act. I feel nervous about what she is capable of doing as she is so unbalanced. I don't think there's any chance of MR and the more she acts the way she does the more I feel detached.
