Every day, I am reminded that divorce is never as easy as anyone thinks or says it is. The STBX used to say that she would want things to be as amicable as possible if we ever split up.  That of course was all pillow talk during the so-called “good old days”.

I asked my brother, who is also an attorney but not family law, to look over the separation agreement she had prepared. Overall, he said it looked like pretty standard stuff.  He suggested i ask her to make a change to visitation. He recommend, with her being out of state, that I ask for more time during the summer in exchange for less time during the school year.

Once again, her audacity never ceases to amaze me. She had the temerity to say that she “already doesn’t get to spend time with [our son]”.

Amazing considering I live 850 miles away from him; and her room is right down the hall from his.  But in her eyes, she is the victim.  She is, she says, “the one who was wronged”.

NOTE TO SELF:  this is a reminder to put together a list of her most ridiculous one-liners.  this would make a good blog entry.

I’ve put this off long enough.  It’s time for a lawyer.
