[I_Still_Love_Him]

Nicola,
Sorry you're having a down day. I know what that's like and just becuz we are going to be D doesn't mean that we won't still be having down days. We are not ready to D our Hs emotionally even though we will be legally.

I'm glad to hear your son is doing better; brings back memories of S21 and his bouts of croup. Your son will outgrow it too.

Don't let the thoughts of anything happening to your kids while they are not with you occupy your mind. If you start thinking that way, you won't ever let them out of your sight. Know that God is watching over them; you need to have faith.

I also agree with you that our WAS would rather we don't know where they are; my STBXH won't even tell me where he lives although I figure he's now living within 5 min. car ride from my house.

He took the ow with the kids to visit his parents on Father's Day. These are the people who supposedly thought he was making a huge mistake (although they didn't say anything), and who pray everyday that we'll get back togther.

Just becuz H brought gf to his parents house doesn't mean that they accept her. They are probably still praying for the two of you to get back together but whether that happens or not may be up to you. Remember that even if H decides that he made a mistake, he now has to ask you whether you would want to try.

No matter how bad things may seem right now, you will pick yourself up each down you fall and will move forward because God will give you the strength you need to take care of yourself. Your H may be entitled to more money that you originally anticipated but he will never take your integrity; something he's lost and will take a while to regain.

Hugs,
ISLH
