Ok a little more to chew on. I dropped the kids off last night and my ex and her sister were there. THis is the sister who knows my ex sends mixed signals; but for some reason acts really standoffish to me, like ithis is all my fault. So, needless to say, as usual when she or another relative is there, my ex acts weird. For instance, my son had drank the last of the milk before we left that afternoon. I told her I was going to the store if she needed just that. She said that when they were out to eat, that she would drag her sister with her to get milk and a few other things. Well, when we got back, my son went to get some milk and there was none. To which she told him, I still have to go get some. So, I said oh, you didn't get some while you were out? She snapped "Wendee and I were having dinner and we ended up talking for a bit. I will go out and get some later!!!" Man WTF!!! I so much want to fix it if possible; but her jekyll and hyde when certain family members are around drives me nuts and makes me feel like it will never get fixed. It's then that I feel like giving up.

What I don't get is how she can agree to go out, have to tell whoever is sitting for her that she is going out with me (She seems okay with doing so), and the fact that she said "It ain't ever gonna happen". Like I said before, then what is the point of going out??? I know the believe half of what they say thing; but at some point that has to stop.

I have a real tough time being patient with this split personality type thing. When we are alone, she is much closer, even though she still maintains a certain amount of emotional distance between us.
