Will try to condense it for sake of TL;DR
Recently moved out, married for 16 years, 2 kids, tons of debt, facing divorce. Moved out because living with her mental illness became unbearable burden: she'd act erratically, spend money frivolously, gaslight, and create situations that made living under same roof with her nearly impossible.
Refused to take care of herself, gained 80 lbs, didn't really take interest in treatment, refused to look for a job, didn't take care of things at home, didn't focus on kids - all the things I asked her to change went ignored.
Now, she's living in the house I'm paying for and, as I predicted, doing all the things that she previously didn't want to do. So, in a way nearly all the changes I wanted to see are happening - but without me in the picture. She shows zero remorse and as it typically goes in these cases, hired a nasty lawyer. On Tuesday I have a support conference, and I'm sure that she'll lop off yet another chunk of me - emotionally, psychologically, and financially.
I love my kids, but curse the day I met her - my life took a horrid detour towards dead end on that night and despite initial elation of being on my own, depression is eating away at me. Mostly because of how hard it has been on my kids...
Plus I jinxed myself and after 40+ days of being mostly smoke-free, stared smoking again. Thanks for letting me vent.
