Nut,

You've got my back as always, my brother.

Yep! I've got ZERO doubts there will be another round of crap from XW, but you are correct, once things are finalized, I won't have to listen to her at all. Can I begin counting the days to that moment yet?

bizarre, thank you for your support as always. I'm glad to read your posts and thoughts.

I'm going to get her to take whatever deal we get so we can end this saga. Yes, I've been held prisoner in my own house and it sucks. I'm pretty sure now I didn't pick up the best representation from my L and now I'm paying the price for it.

I understand the market completely, while she's been absent from it for over a year. Even when we were in it attention, she didn't pay attention (and remember that is my fault b/c she didn't pay attention).

She sent me this e-mail today:
Quote:
If my email sounded angry and hostile, it was because I was calling you on the carpet about doing things without my knowledge and/or permission.

I don't harbor ill-will toward you, Rob. I pray you will find happiness and peace...and learn to love yourself. Those are the same things I have prayed for you for the last 12 years. You should know that by now.

Doesn't harbor ill-will? WTF? Does she not read her own e-mails? Ok, I'll admit, she's baffling to me.

My reply was "polite" but I did point out a fact or two to her to remind her of where we are w/things:

Thank you for your response. I appreciate your honesty.

Please remember that I have tried to keep you in the loop but we have had communication issues on both ends, not just on mine. Thus, I did the best I could with the information I had.

I'm hoping we can continue to work cooperatively from here on out concerning our financial connections as well as our co-parenting of D.

I appreciate your wish for me to find happiness, peace and love for myself. I wish nothing but the same for you as well.

I don't feel like I kissed her butt, but I also made sure she didn't get away w/just blaming me for things. I love her "well wishes" for me when she's the one that needs them more than I do.

I also informed her our counter-offer had been received and we should hope they have an acceptable reply. I reminded her that keeping our equity line w/a small balance probably less than $6-$8K depending on the final numbers wouldn't be a bad thing b/c we're at prime minus 1% and the FED just lowered rates again.

So, I've got us a Home Equity Line of Credit at 1% below prime and I'm being accused of mis-managing our money? Does that argument make sense to anyone else?

I'll keep you posted on the counter-offer.
