I'm still hoping to hear more from more experienced people because it feels like I'm in this deed, dark limbo. I think I've given enough background info, at least for now so I'll take a shot at journaling on ann's suggestion an see where that goes.

I'm taking the kids to TX for X-mas week - got OK from W by email. Today D11 called to ask when we're coming back (remember she's the medium of communication). W then comes on the phone and rudely asks for details of the cub scout events next week which I'd already e-mailed her last week and I didn't have in front of me - I politely reminded her of this but she sounded hostile as usual.

I also got a letter from her lawyer today. Letters have been going back and forth for several months now where she is making unreasonable or unsubstantiated claims for more money. A LOT of money is with the 2 lawyers' trust funds waiting for settlement which hasn't happened due to her bickering. This "trust" money is what she cleared out of our joint account, what she owe's me for our new car she claimed as her own - the judge ordered her to pay all this back in April which she hasn't yet done. What I owe her for the house which I paid out by the stipulated date but my lawyer does not want to release it till all the accounts are squared away. I have submitted spreadsheets, bank statements, cancelled checks, etc. so on my side everything is substantiated. I'm getting sick and tired of this but it does not seem like a good idea to give in because these are large sums of money and I'm cash flow negative.

Please advise ...
