Thanks IMP and Bambam. I know you guys are right. I just need to focus on the positives in all of this. I know I will be a better person for having gone through this, no matter what the outcome.

I received this latest email from W:

Hi GK99,

Hope you are having a good time in Toronto.

I wanted to let you know that I am going to propose that I buy you out of the house effective Sept. 1. This would give you the summer to decide what you are going to do. In order for me to propose this I need to have an assessment done on the house. I have been to the bank to see how I could buy you out and I have set up an appointment for an assessment to be done on the house. I will be meeting the assessment rep. at the house on Monday July 9 at 9am. I will go into the house with the rep. and then I will leave.

Once I have the assessment back I will put together all the numbers and send you a proposal. You can then review the proposal and get back to me. I have seen a lawyer who will draft the necessary legal documents (separation agreement) once we have verbally come to an agreement on the house, assets, and liabilities. I am hoping we can come to an agreement on our own and then involve the lawyers. I recommend that you also find a lawyer as we will send the agreement to you and your lawyer to review and sign. If you need a lawyer you could contact the firm I used:

XXX-Family Law Lawyers

My lawyer is XXX

Thanks.

I am not comfortable with her being in the house or bringing an appraiser into the house while I'm not there. It also sounds like she is using a bank appraiser but banks don't appraise based on market value, they appraise based on risk to them (I used to work for a bank).

As always, I would love to hear any suggestions on how to reply to her.
