Man, my ex is so strange... she has to sign some paperwork to take her name off the house deed, in order for me to get this mortgage refinance done. The mortgage company sent her the paperwork today, and she called me. She was super stressed to the point where she was taking deep breaths and holding back tears. She said "first of all my intentions haven't changed, I don't want your house and I want to get this paperwork done". Then she said that it was "way too much" for her to think about trying to deal with the paperwork. I said it was just 3 documents to sign in front of a notary public, but she was like, no, I'm sorry but my head is spinning and I can't deal with this, it's too much to think about. What I hope you'd be willing to do is draw up a paper that gives you the power of attorney over me specifically for these 3 documents, so you can deal with them yourself. I was like... uh I've never heard of this, but even if we can do that, you'll still have to take THAT document to a notary, I'm sure. She didn't care about that and started talking to me about how she thinks if she signs the documents they'll be able to pry into her finances. She's always had very irrational paranoias about things but wow. Then she breathed a sigh of relief when I said I'd try to figure that out, and thanked me for being cool about it, and said take care and bye. Very, very nice about it all.
I actually feel really sorry for her now.

Absolutely everything seems to overwhelm her, I was hoping for her sake it was better than it was at the end of our relationship but although she definitely seems to have improved to some extent, she must be pretty non-functional still, if signing 3 documents that both me and the mortgage company have fully explained to her causes her this much distress. I think it stems from her being super paranoid, but it doesn't even make any sense because if I end up signing the documents for her, it's functionally and legally identical to if she just does it herself.
What a strange bird... 8( On the other hand I think it bodes well for being able to believe that she actually still doesn't want anything from me, and that she'll sign a no-fault divorce. I want to get this stuff done first, before asking her to sign the property settlement agreement and divorce papers.
