Thanks guys - a lot of what you're saying is what has been rushing through my head.
Both lawyers are looking at me - and you know what? Let them. I'm not going to do a blessed thing.
She might be confused, she might not be - she could be talking about something else - who knows.
As I just told a friend - It's going to be a long time before I try to pick up that scorpion again.
If this is really what the W wants - really she can stew in it as long as it takes - but she's got to come to me. I'm not going to ask for the L's. I'm moving ahead as if nothing had happened.
Sandi2, you're right. If I were to do this, I can't do what she did to me. And unfortunately, at this very moment - I'm very angry, and very resentful.
So much damage has been done - and I had literally just come to grips with it being truly over with - well I dunno. I just don't see picking up any pieces at the moment.
I'll call my coach on Monday once I've had a chance to calm down, reflect, and see if anything else happens. By Monday I think I might be able to assume it's moving forward and this was just a momentary disturbance in the force.
Who'd ever have thought that soap operas were so completely tame and boring?

Was W's lawyer asking for a response from you? If so, maybe you need more information about what was meant in not going forward.
Oh, I don't think I addressed this - but yes. Both L's were looking to me to answer this. My L asked if I had had any contact with the W, and I said yes - but it was not pleasant by any means. The first time I answered I defended myself and basically blew it (as mentioned above), the second round I simply validated and didn't address most of the accusations (mostly DR correct).
My L asked me to reach out to her to see what she meant, I said I would. But, I'm not. If I learned anything here, it's let her pursue. She called her L and cut it short, she can call her L and finish the conversation. Or, call me.
Other than that - I'm going off to GAL, it's Friday and I'm going to do what I can to enjoy myself for a little bit.

Think carefully before you respond! AWESOME! Don't rush it. You're busy, remember? Read up on piecing and go very, very slowly.

And I didn't mean to respond "awesome"... that was a comment to you!
Maybe you should say, are you available at 2 p.m. tomorrow to talk about this? That will keep her guessing and gives you a little more power. This is a crucial time for you. Be very cautious!!

I'm SO GLAD I didn't see it this morning. I probably would have fired off a message right away - as I mentioned above I was dreaming about her and woke up so depressed.
She's stewing in it right now, isn't she?

And remember, she has to verify that OM is gone, and that she's over him, before you can really move forward.
