Good input hopeful and tink. Yes, he truly is in denial about he foreclosure. I don't know when it will sink in for him. Tink, I think you have a good point about my moving back into town but I am not really sure if I truly want to stay at my Moms or here in my hometown. I do miss it where H is, even if he's not pursuing me. I agree about the house and dogs; he wants me to clean up his messes for him so he can continue to do as he wishes. Kind of sucks. I will really have to let all of this sink in and try to use my words carefully. He's good at charming me into a "yes" when he wants something. I love my dogs as if they were my children but this is the kind of thing that makes me wish I didn't have to worry about them. They are all aging, I do not wish to re-home them. I will be getting my dog back soon and don't know how it would work out if I brought him here with me at my Moms (pottying issues); just trying to figure out what will keep me sane.
