No, see, the sad part is that she wouldn't say that. She'd talk about how much she loved me and how she was just trying to protect her financial future (that's the bulls*** answer I got when I begged her not to subpoena me to court).
Have you ever considered that this might actually be what she actually thinks?
I know you and a few others in this topic would rather jam a sharp object in their eye than talk to this woman, but appealing to her seems to be the only way you'll ever get out of this mess. Have you even tried to reason with her or have you been stuck in "grrr b**** stupid woman grrr" mode ever since the divorce?
I shouldn't have to tell you that now isn't a good time to burn bridges.
She filed for divorce in March of 2010. Up until August 2010 I was trying to reason with her. I didn't burn any bridge. She did.
Hell, I was OK with them getting a divorce until I found out she lied to me and it wasn't mutual. Hell, she didn't even have the audacity to tell him, he was just serve papers one day while they were still in the house together. But even though I was upset with her, I was still moving back and forth between the both of them.
She used the same excuse every time: I love you but I have to protect my financial future. Keep in mind by "protecting" her future, she's completely destroyed my father's. Also, she's got a bachelor's degree and is fully capable of working full time (she quit her job about 5-6 years ago because she didn't want to work more than 8 hours a week).
What kind of f***ed up world do we live in where a woman fully capable of working with no disabilities can just say "I don't feel like working anymore, this guy I hate can support me from now on" and the court system says "OK." I can understand maybe a year's worth to help her get started and get her own life together, but this is for the rest of my dad's life.
I mean, why should you be allowed to have financial security from a person you want nothing to do with? If she didn't want to be around my father anymore, fine. But why should she get all the financial benefits of having him around? Why does she get to ruin his finances just to "protect" her own?
