W and I had a phone convo tonight and it hit the fan. For anonymity's sake (not sure I would be anonymous at this point but whatever...), I will spare the long gory details. Her ideas about what this D will look like are so far out of line of what is standard, but she hopes we can "work something out that works for everyone." I kept the conversation respectful while standing up for myself, and she resorted to insults and suggesting I talk to my IC about my "problems." I had to cut off the conversation and told her I would not continue anymore if she could not be respectful.
It's pretty clear that I have 2 options. Well, really only 1.
1. Get a L, try mediation, see how it flames out when I stand up for myself, face a court trial with my W's accusations.
2. Cave into my W's demands (or requests) and watch the goalposts continually move.
Either way, my kids are going to suffer and I feel boxed in. This s*cks.
I may or may not focus my posts away from logistical details and stick to emotions. I'm a little freaked out where this may be headed.
