I'm safe where I'm at. My Mom is staying with me. Poor thing. She was nervous for my Dad when I dropped her at work this morning. I think he is in the clear as far as the flooding goes now. All we can do is hope and pray. So many families have lost everything. It's so sad. The devastation. This morning was tense, as the water was coming up rapidly and Dad thought he may be in trouble if the river didn't reach it's crest very soon. We're hoping it has. The water is up to the house and he's surrounded by it, but that is okay.
The reports are saying the level should slowly come down from here. I hope they are right. Last night's report had said the crest would happen late today at this location that is well upriver from him, when it actually crested there at midnight last night. So, hopefully it just came quicker and there's not worse to come. But the cows don't have any more clean water, and without power the well doesn't work.
I saw my L today. That went well. I see him again on Friday to do a final review and sign all the documents. I accidentally answered a phone call from my H this afternoon. I was actually working on this post before that. That has not treated me so well. I am trying not to be too hard on myself. I did manage to end things in a way I could walk away feeling good about myself, so that's something. I'm so frustrated that I let him get to me like I did though!!! When I hung up with him the last time we spoke, I threw my cell phone against the wall. Not smart, as it's my only phone and it's destroyed now. I'm feeling pretty stupid and low. The things he was saying to and about me I needed to ignore. I must pull it together so I can go pick up my Mom.
It's looking like my H had gotten himself in a really bad place financially. I have the impression someone was after him, and he eluded to there being good reason he had acted so desperate. Who knows what the story is/was but I don't regret choosing not to sign that quit claim. But this could all be really bad for me. He mentioned bankruptcy and not being able to pay our mortgage. We'll see. He seemed interested in working something out together. He probably has a L of his own who is suggesting he do this, because he hasn't been so motivated before to work as anything that resembles a team.
Well, I'm off for now. Hope I will be back to a more positive f21 before I know it. Hope you're all well. Thanks again, Bethie. (((((Bethie)))))
