By having to play my part in the D I am helping him to achieve what he wants at the sacrifice of my own feelings.
The real way to look at this is what happens if you do nothing, ACJ. In my case, I could have done nothing and then I would have been hurt by accepting a bad deal for me.
You still have to take care of business. That is part of what Althea is saying even though she may not have said it directly.

No amount of GALing can compensate for that.
You can't blame yourself for the actions of another. And you can't blame yourself for participating in a legal process that involves you, your children, and your financial well-being. Look at it this way. If your H had put into the D papers that he gets physical custody of your children, and you let him, how would GAL ever compensate for that.
