Thnaks
The emails and texts are upsetting because of ALL the brinksmanship she perfected over the years. The silence, stonewalling, or changing the subject when the discussions weren’t going in her favor truly left me feeling like I was going a bit mad. The last minute confessions Monday morning were the most telling because it spoke to every dead end I found myself in over the years. It actually made me angry and focused on just letting the clock tic until it was over. The challenge I have before me will be dealing with her self imposed poverty in relationship to the financial obligations she is now legally responsible for in relation to our children. Friends are taking bets that she will never work, and although some can say I am no longer “walking that dog” the reality is, she will never give up inventing ways to not work.
