Sorry about S4. Glad it sounds like he's feeling better now! Good for you just brushing off the control freakness of your W.
Thanks for the laugh about your W's reanimated corpse, funny. You have to laugh sometimes. Yeah, she's a total control freak. I always think (mine is too ya know) that imagine how hard it is to deal with them for short periods of time--they have to live with themselves 24/7. I'd go crazy--oh, that's right they already have!
Ok, I know I drive you crazy with book recommendations, but I'm reading a really good one now. It's called When the Vow Breaks: A survival and recovery guide for Christians facing divorce by Joseph Kniskern. Some of it doesn't apply for you as it goes through the divorce process, but the emotional stuff I think is something we'll be dealing with for a while unfortunately. They have it on amazon if you want to check out the table of contents and first couple pages, or maybe you can check it out at your library or ILL or something....
Also, I don't think you're being paranoid at all. H likes to tell people (the testing evaluator and D9's child psych) that she doesn't have any meltdowns with him, she's just perfect; I guess the implication being it's all me and my fault. But S15 has told me several times that she has just as many meltdowns with H. I mean I guess he's either in total denial about D9 or wants to make me look bad, don't know, but how I deal with it is I'm just honest and upfront with everyone. I think people know the truth esp. as they get to know you better. Everyone tells me H seems creepy so I think the dishonesty kind of becomes apparent to people esp. after they get to know him. Maybe I'm naive, but I think it's all going to work out. We'll see I guess... Karen
