jmw, I am with you in all of this, I went and viewed a house yesterday and although it is not in the area we live in it isn't far away, although we are excited at getting our new place I still have in the back of my mind, why as all this happened to us, why as this man done this to the two people that loved him the most, why doesn't he contact his son, well jmw I can tell you this I know for a fact that xh is going to have to face this one day, he is going to have to face what he as done to me but more important what he as done to son, he as abandoned him and I have to say he was never like that, and he used to speak ill of anyone that was like that. I too find that since rushing to get me into court the first time that little pan as gone of the boil now and he doesn't want to go back to court, son and I have a new place, we will be moving in before xmas but I can tell you this, I have no intention of telling xh that we have moved out or where we have moved to, let him feel a gut wrenching when he goes by and sees we've gone and he doesn't know where. keep your chin up jmw they will see the light one day and they won't enjoy what they see, because all the destruction is what they have created
