I'm Back! (2)

[Ready2Change]

W told me she did indeed retain a lawyer today.....Apparently we're still going to be amicable.

My personal belief is these two statements are contradictory.

What does you gut tell you. Trust your gut.

She tried showing me some bank account stuff to prove that she isn't hoarding money (this in response to me withdrawing money today). Wait till she sees only 75% of my paycheck deposited this week.

This is the no trust phase.

She said she still wants 50/50 custody.

Get this in writing in an email. Send an email like this:

"After our discussion yesterday, I believe it is best if we get a parenting arrangement set up soon. You said you wanted to make the transition as easy as possible for him. What are your thoughts on how we should split our time with him?"

so when she asked for my 'thoughts', I essentially told her that I can't even describe the amount of resentment I have for her for putting everybody through this, again.

Better to say "I am not sure. I need to time think about what you have said."

I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that in a year or two my life will be a helluva lot better.

It will. You have to though some BS for a while.

Not worrying about jumping through hoop after hoop after hoop just in hopes that she'll show the slightest bit of love in return.

Now is the time to learn new ways to interact.
