Thanks everyone!!! Wow, support is amazing.

Journaling:

Took my ladies to the circus this morning. We are involved with Shriners Hospital (mom works there, we are volunteers), so this is a yearly thing for us. First time without H, and we had a fabulous time. H was working, or I would have invited him. We met my brother and nephew (turned 3, and he and my D3 are peas in a pod). D3 was brave this year and interacted with clowns. D6 was fascinated by the human acts. They both rode ponies. A lovely lovely day. H seemed wistful when the girls gushed about the day, but I included him by forwarding pictures. D3's first time on a pony AND talking to clowns, big day for her.

H continues to be so nice, yet so very distant. He is afraid to be my 'friend' for whatever reason. I talked about mediation this week. Told him we will see the mediator together, or I will hire an attorney by the end of May. I need change. H avoided eye contact and hemmed and hawed. We shall see.
