DRAMA I have no idea why she did what she did, which is why I'm here. Who runs out and signs a lease in 4 days, when they have a mortg? I kind of feel like maybe she's trying to prove something to me or herself. Maybe she really does just want to move on and forget me, I don't know. BTW she moved about a 1/4 mile away. One other thing is she's treating me diff. than she does her ex husband in the way of totally trying to avoid me. She will engage him and fight with him constantly. In my experience, they run from their feelings.

Also, I coach the 6 year old and the last practice (Tues.) she was all done up. Her hair was perfect and the make-up. And was nice to me, which was diff. I know it may seem self righteous, but why would you be looking like that for practice?

Hey crown........I don't hear a lot of love or poitives about her coming from you. Let's see now.....your comments::

1. won't discuss matters with you

2. you don't trust her

3. she steals

4. leaves financial obligations

5. actions don't support words

6. proven liar

7. made kids lives a shambles

8. calculating

9. manipulative

I still don't see a lot of love from you toward her.

Geeze, why would you want that back? Maybe just maybe, you somehow let her know that these were your thoughts toward her. Maybe?????

At this point I think you should sell the house, and RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!, for the sake of the kids and yourself.

They're her kids. That's why it's so hard to run. We've been apart for 2 weeks and she will not let me see the kids except when I'm coaching her 6 year old. Tonight was the first time I've seen the 8 yr old. Usually he doesn't come with them to practice.

Yes, I see your point. I've never really thought of it like that, but I guess you're right. I probably did let her know what I thought. The hard part was there was another person in there that was sweet and loving and that is the person I miss.

I'm not saying I want her back. I'm saying why is she trying to make my life difficult. Why alienate me from the kids and why not communicate with me over something so serious?

Hi Crown,

Maybe, she is needing some space, to deal with herself, and needs to put some time in between you. Maybe she was being pleasant with you at the game. It's better than being rude. Maybe she realized what she was doing, and needed to get out of the situation. Maybe if she communicates with you she will be sucked in again.

I have bipolar, and I have left people, because, I was tired of hurting them. Maybe having any contact with you is painful. When, I am unstable, and go into a depression, I feel like a burden. I feel like leaving, and that everyone is better off with out me. Maybe she doesn't want the same situation she has with her ex. Maybe she doesn't know how to deal with it.

Contact with my ex (the father of my 3 older kids) was very hard when he broke up with me. When he left he didn't want any contact with me, and eventually cut off contact with his kids, too.

Maybe, try to write a letter to her, asking her all these questions? Maybe the next time she is at the baseball game, try to talk to her.

I don't know. Maybe research it online. I look stuff up all the time, when, I am having a hard time with something.

God Bless,Gypsy

Crown, sometimes I wonder what the hell my family is thinking when they say they love me and walk away during my storms. How can they possibly still love me? How can they put up with the bull shit I throw at them? But then I want them to back off & let me ALONE, until I get my shit together. Of course when I do get it together I remember the good times we have, and realize why they stick it out. (Besides, I am the mom/grandma/wife, and I am a big old gal!!! lolol) Give her time...to get her proverbial shit together. Again I tell you......be patient.

Gloria

She would never leave because she was tired of hurting me, she's too selfish. I think she left because she thinks/feels that I do not want her anymore and she cannot handle rejection.

If I wrote her a letter, she would just show it to everybody and make me look like a fool. She probably wouldn't reply HONESTLY. She has been bad mouthng me to alot of people and all of it is false. Again, if she is done, why bother?

She's the type of person that cuts others down to make herself feel better. She has completely done a 360 and is playing up to her ex husband and his wife, who 2 days before we broke up she was fighting and carrying on with about them not being fit to see the kids and now she lets the kids go over. I mean I just don't get the contradictions.

You make me laugh! I'm just looking for a peaceful resolution. I do not feel she is done with me and I guess I just want another persepective. There are alot of little games being played on her end that I'm picking up on and I guess I';m trying to figure her out, which apparently is impossible.

Ok, Question - How do I know if she ever truly loved me? Will she remember the good or just fixate herself on the bad.

Myself - I can weigh both, but it seems she is fixating herself on the negative. Is that her way of justifying?

Of course she has to justify, even if it means lying to herself. As a, nut, lol, she will have no trouble with the lies. Stop being so unsure of yourself, kiddo, of course she loved you!!! She wasn't in a bipolar episode or delusional for 3 years!!! C'mon, give yourself some credit!

NOW RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
