Thanks for your replies and support, very needed and appreciated at this time.
I just do not understand how a person can knowingly go out to hurt their family, after spending years nurturing them.
How can a father not be able to communicate with a child he witnessed enter this world, watched him grow up only to totally back off and not be able to hold a cnversation with them.
How can a father not want to share his wealth with his children, by this I do not just mean money i mean everything.
HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN ? it is as if the MLCer goes into survival mode, wanting to keep everything fr himself, not wanting to share anything.
After talks with my L, H is holding out for the maximum, no negotiation, he wants the lot. He is looking for a settlement that if awarded would see me and the lads go under.
For a man who left saying that he didn't want to hurts us anymore than he had and he just wanted a reasonable sum to live on, well he has changed his tune somewhat. He is out for the maximum at all costs.
I REALLY DO NOT KNOW THE MAN WHO SITS IN THE OPPOSITION SEAT, HE IS A STRANGER TO ME NOW.
I was just thinking the same thing about my wife. I watched my wife raise and dote over these kids and then she just says, I don't want to be married anymore and I dont want to be a mother anymore either. BAM, away she goes, seemingly with no regrets or too much pride to admit she is wrong. Sad, but we are doing well and moving on too. Me and my boys get along great and have a good home life. God is in control of this ride and I feel comfortable in HIS hands.
