Yep, your sitch and mine have a lot of similarities, especially the much younger, psychologically messed up OW. But for all the problems they have, they do seem to be hanging in for a long time! This one plays the incredibly nicey-nice, sweet girl part to the hilt, but she is so incredibly manipulative and controlling. Someone on another thread recently referred to OW's as parasites, and I think it's very apropos. She IS a parasite.
I've followed your thread some, and was sorry to hear that your H filed. How are you? How is your daughter?
My H actually filed last summer, but as much as he likes to blame me for the D taking so long, it is actually his procrastination that has dragged it out. He would never admit that, or even agree with that, but it's true.
It's going to be finished in the next month or so, and my children and my in-laws are devastated. H has been incredibly nasty to his parents lately, and they are so depressed---feeling like they don't know who this man is. Join the club!!! (Well, they've been members since the day he dropped the bomb. This is NOT the man any of us knew for 39 years.)
I was a little confused (typo, maybe?) about your advice on the letters. Did you mean you wouldn't send either of the two letters? Or just send S9's and not mine? Just curious!
