Ok. I am not trying to get him back. I am trying to communicate in the way that will position me best in negotiating finances and other items until I can retain an attorney.

And it is not about this text, it is about setting boundaries that are clear and reasonable that I stick to.

Other people commented on hooking him in and that is NOT what I want to do.

So the energy spent here is not about bringing him back or pushing him away (very broad concepts) but trying to live the very consequential realities of my sitch.

I hope I am being clearer. I really need help staying on track and "Moving On." I wish moving on meant just packing up and heading for the hills but as it is, moving on requires regular communication and negotiation.

BTW- Kalni, you're a Goddess and don't you forget it!
