So, when I last spoke with my wife in person, we were outside the bank having gotten a document notarized that she needed for her lawyer. She ended up saying that she was going to pay 1/2 the fee when she signed, and that I could pay the other half when I did...
I don't know, I was shocked that she would have the gall to just expect that I would pay for it... I told her, that I would sign, but that I couldn't pay for it. That I couldn't pay for something that I didn't want to happen. She got mad and ended up leaving...
Fast forward to this last week. I have written and re-written a letter to her a couple of times further explaining my reasons for not paying the lawyer, more than just I don't wanna. I apologized in the letter, and tried to at least give her my perspective.
I sent the letter Thursday morning before work and signed the paperwork that afternoon. She gets the letter today and sends me a text and is very irate that me not paying wasn't just affecting her, but my stepdaughter too and how dare I use God as an excuse...
I was finishing up a side job and when I got to where I could text her back, I apologized again for making her angry, that it wasn't my intent with the letter, that I was just trying to explain. She never responded.
In the past 6 months I have seen my stepdaughter, maybe once a month and usually for not more than 30 minutes to an hour at my in-laws after work. All to give my wife space, any time I do happen to see her, she hides behind people or things. I get off from work Friday and pull into the drive way and she is in her parents driveway and walks around behind the car, kind of hiding.
I don't know what else to say or do. I had a good church service this morning, I finished up this side job, and after this text I have let today crumble into ashes. God help me, I don't know what to do...
