Looking for tips on how to disentangle myself emotionally. We've been married for 20 years
and have a 21 yo and an 18 yo .love her but she's become a bitter, mean, alcoholic. I can't tie my happiness to the whims of this crazy person anymore. Tips on how you finally took the plunge.

Just leave this exact webpage open on any device that she might look at.

God will take care of the rest.

Life's too short to be miserable and your kids are adults now. They would want you to be happy.

This sounds like solid advice. Disclaimer; Currently crushing beers in my driveway in anticipation of sleeping in my car.

Yes, I know that calls my accusation of her being an alcoholic into question, but I honestly don't drink that often. Just having a hard time dealing with all the shite right now.

My pager went off and I’m here to remind you of my rules for OTers getting divorced.
Here are my rules.
quote:


Getting Divorced Checklist
Retain an attorney. Again... Retain an attorney.

Immediate action items:
1) Secure and/or change all passwords. End all open sessions of social media. Make all of this private.
2) On your cell phone bill-if you have a joint account- pay the extra $ for detailed billing. Document communications with Jody.
3) If you are a W-9 employee and have direct deposit- change this. Open a new account at a different bank and deposit your salary there.Transfer money for shelter, transportation, children as necessary. Establish a new checking account with an address that is not your home address. (If she has access to your mail then you don’t have control)
4) Have a detailed copy of your tax returns going back 4-5 years.
5) Change mailing address/ enable paperless documents w/ new passwords for financial accounts.
6) Reduce/eliminate 401k contributions until judgement of divorce. IRA’s are ok to continue.
7) Inventory your home like you would for homeowners/flood insurance.
8) She has a window of opportunity to wreck your credit. Don’t let her.
9) Document, Document, Document Jody...even if it’s simply location tracking of her whereabouts. This will come into play for spousal support payments.
10) File first. Establish the date of separation... every day does count. This list is a 4:30 in the morning checklist and is put together from my own and friends experiences...it’s not meant to be complete- just a starting point. Divorce is about property, money and control. You gotta be on your toes or else you’ll get screwed.


It’s not a complete list but it covers the main things that you need to know.

1-lawyer - good one

2- be aware you gonna lose AT LEAST half of everything unless you have some significant trash on her.

3- listen to lawyer

4- never move out or even hint at abusing her

5- better clear all your history and assume you are being watched like a hawk.

6- women never forget shite

Damn that's some sage advice.

OP, you are better off getting your shite together in preparation for what sounds inevitable than drinking beer and sleeping in your car. Yeah it's 2 in the morning or whatever but i'm guessing it's still your house. when she's passed out it's time to get some phone numbers and get ready to kick this shite off.

Never forget that she really cannot MAKE you feel a certain way. She can't control your emotions. She can try, that's it. If she's dead set on self-destruction by being the alcoholic bitch queen of the universe that's her frickin problem.

In the end I wasted tens of thousands of dollars on my 1st wife but it could have been much much worse.. I could have wasted my life with her.

There is a large segment of college chicks that love older guys. They will make you forget about a bitter, mean alcoholic. They may also resemble alcoholics...
