So it all just hit the fan. She wanted to meet any morning this week. I told her no and we should talk on the phone. She later agreed to do it by phone. I sent her a long text last night, as the divorce will be signed here in a few days. Nothing sentimental or hokey, just that its a sad situation and we need to do what we can for the kids. She responded by saying she agreed, but also that I need to apologize for all the vindictive stuff I have done and she was basically an innocent bystander. Then a short texting battle ensued and I promptly learned she has learned nothing and gone nowhere with her crisis. I eventually informed her to we could talk when she is clear headed and able to have introspect regarding her actions around the kids. For now, we will stick to email and I will respond at my choosing, depending on the content.
I have not heard back, and do not expect to. It felt good to reconnect with her, but now realize it was another touch and go. My kids are slipping from her more than ever the past month or so. They are in counseling, and I do what I can but feel hopeless sometimes. This process is so devastating for everyone involved.
