Wife in MLC, I think

[LB55]

Well here we go...have begun the move back to my home state. Arriving on Sunday.

Got my declarations to the lawyer to start reviewing in prep for my hearing on the 1st. That is a big step to have that in initial draft finally.

W has booked herself a ski vacation using joint money. She knows I pay attention to finances and will notice it. She is likely expecting me to lash out in anger; this seems like another baiting attempt to see if I will lose my cool. I am in the process of separating accounts in accordance with my L's guidance.

Also had my 2x/week phonecall last night. I have 30 minutes twice a week. They had just sat down to dinner so the kids were busy eating for 25 minutes of the call. Another attempt to isolate and anger me. Keeping cool and venting here and with my L. So frustrating that she is playing these childish tactics. So many parallels to teenage years...spending with no regard for responsibility, not caring what anyone but the new BFF thinks, living a carefree life, etc. The shock is coming...I just have to ensure my butt is covered legally before I make wholesale financial change. I have to protect myself, my credit, and my kids' financial futures right now. I have frozen my credit with all 3 agencies to ensure she can't open any accounts in my name going forward. She knows all the right info to do such.

Two more weeks to the hearing. Trying to keep a positive outlook on things and 'act as if' per the DR book. Finished reading it last night, now to start over and read for comprehension, take notes, and do the exercises. I have books about not being a nice guy and breaking from co-dependency on their way to read as well.
