Hey Gyps,

I feel for you. in a sense, i am in the same place...you know the rope thing. The difference is your H is trying to stick it to you finacially on top of all the other stuff....at least that is how I am reading this. That is hard to stomach. This morning you suggested I get mad. Well I know this is no consolation but you have more (as if you needed it) grounds to be MAD. (expletive not of your choice but the one that rhymes with puck) I am even mad.....all I can say is you will better of without the guy now residing in your husband`s body. Don`t call him...from this point on....lawyer to lawyer. He may sense that you are still a tad on the `friendly` side and that is not a good way to negotiate.
Sorry I could not be more positive about this.

your fur pouch...John :-)
