Newcomer, want to keep my hope alive!

If you feel like me, you probably feel you can handle anything she does to YOU, but the kid(s)...Well, that's a different ball game.

That is the truth, I am a product of a broken marriage, and I KNOW that it will affect her. Sure, she can survive it, and most likely can thrive at some point. It's the ONE thing that has kept me to this point, and keeps me from making moves that I probably should be doing to protect myself..

I forget, but have you seen a L. If not, get in to see one. Might help calm you a but to know what she can and can't do.

I have been yes, and he eased my mind a bit, that was the mention of some things in my favor. I have a 'short term marriage' by virtue of not getting married until 4.5 years ago, but since we have a d8, that can come into play as well. My W has the cash currently from her mothers estate, and if she goes for jugular, I hope I can bring that into play, as the only reason we have what we have today is from MY inheritance from 7.5 years ago, and I have it in paper trail through houses we have bought.

Nothing of that will be pretty, and I am going to try and 'coax' her back to mediation, and hell, I'll setup the mediation meeting and see what we can do.

If not, since she has only just sent an email asking for an L name, it most likely will take a week or so to get an appt, and I will start working before that with my L. He is basically on 'standby' waiting for a retainer, and me to just do something.
