My lawyer did a fair job in his response to her filing. We both understand that what is true and what is perceived are not necessarily the same thing but just as real to the person on the other side. I don't think she thought what her attorney wrote was untrue. So we disagreed and substantiated our points with some facts. Again, my perceptions and not necessarily entirely true either. That's why we need to talk. My lawyer made it clear that I want to reconcile with my W and that our position is that we can work it out and it would be best for all concerned for us to stay together. He then gave a "fall back" position that if she persists in her desire to D, then she should move out and I'll keep the home and care for the children. He pointed out that we are talking about D17 (18 in Sept. and starting college in a couple of weeks.) and twin S15. These are not babes in arms and will do quite well with the LBS.
W has landed a job and is now working. I had hoped that there would be a change in her attitude once she started working but the Ice Queen is still in full force. It is probably too soon and I've got to try not to focus on her and her actions.
I know she is getting tired of rooming with D17 and wants her own space. I don't know how to provide that in a 3 bedroom home.
