[/quote]Thanks! That's all good for me as you know!!! You know he stopped the name-calling verbal abuse a lot the past couple months since he hired the L I guess to try to distance himself from that, although you know he still says the stuff he does. I was thinking he has improved in that, but wonder if the improvement is temporary until after the divorce now that you say that. Like he just "improved" maybe for legal reasons?
I'm going to have to ask my L about that; I'm thinking that his behavior might change again for the worse after the D and how I can protect me/the kids if that happens too. But I will use your advice also. You know my L has been out of town for almost a month but gets back Tuesday and I believe I will be calling her next week to update her!
I appreciate your advice!!! My brother says he thinks maybe the L doesn't believe some of what has been going on or something; he told her some of H's behavior the past year or 2 and he said she sounded like she maybe didn't believe him. Maybe it's hard to believe or some people lie when they are getting divorced or make their spouse sound worse just for legal reasons, but you know that is not the case for me. I've actually tried to hold back some bad stuff about H, but she has pried it out of me (b/c I can't lie) so I think I have told her pretty much everything, but will document that kind of stuff for her too.
As the day goes on I am getting that dread in my stomach again that I will have to see him tomorrow. It's been a nice vacation for me not having to see him!!! I'm sure he is going to freak tomorrow when he sees the 2 downed trees and our porch is poofing out a little bit too since the storm. More justification for him to want to sell the house (like anyone would want it at this point)!!!! Karen Karen
