The plot thickens

So apparently my brother and his...uh wife are going guns a blazing into this whole divorce thing.  She said to him that she never really loved him a few months back and he didn't do too well with that.  Things have been devolving since then. 

Over the past two weeks many events have occurred. She had a deputy serve him with papers.  To tie up loose ends, they agreed to stay in their house to finish renovation. They purchased this house last year and it was in need of a lot of work.  Now they get to fix it up and sell right away because of the divorce.  In what occurs to me as being a War of The Roses reenactment, they decided to live on different stories of the house while they finished the renovations.  That apparently worked for about a day or two until they were at each other's throats.  My guess is my brother is going to have to finish the work himself now.

Last year they had a house blessing / exorcism at the house.  They last owners were Muslims, so everyone was very concerned about the goat sacrifices that occurred in the back yard (no, I'm serious).  I told my mom they need to see about getting a refund on the blessing. 

My brother has also seeing his lover regularly.  She's quite the catch.  They went to a country western bar this past week and she was acting inappropriate because she was extremely drunk. When a police office asked her to stop, she hit him.  She got to spend the night in the drunk tank with a charge of drunk and disorderly. My brother picked her up at the jail the following morning.  Apparently she good with laundry though, so that's a plus.

She was over at the house "doing laundry" the other day when my brothers estranged wife came over to get some things.  The wife, seeing that my brother's lover was there, blocked their cars in the driveway and went inside with the intent of getting into a huge argument.  Now she has to call before she comes over.

Easily the most bizarre event this week happened when my brother called his "wife" and told him how lonely he felt.  This promoted her to drive over to the house and pick him up.   I don't understand how she got him in the car but...well...she drove him to a mental hospital and attempted to have him committed.  I'm not sure why he got out of the car and decided to go in, but he did.  They said, while he might be manic depressive, they couldn't commit him. I'm not sure what the motive was for taking him to the mental hospital, but if it was an attempt to make the divorce go her way, I have to hand it to her.  When my mom told me about this I began to laugh hysterically.  She told me it wasn't funny.  I assured her in a few years see would find all of this funny too.

On the good news front my grandmother is due with all of her cancer surgeries.  She appears to be recovering quite well.  :)
