Thanks for the advice and support. I hate it and regret that I lost my composure. Although I have spoken to a lawyer and a mediator, neither of us has filed. I appreciate the 'egg shells' comment. It is a mess that they choose to leave and then expect all the glory as well. I continue to hope and pray for the best (in my opinion, a reconciliation), but perhaps prepare for the worst.
