Thanks O'dog. I feel that way too. She got really mad over the phone and said 'that was a joint income tax and she had a right to it'. I said yes, but under the circumstances, all legal correspondence is going to have to be handled by our attorneys. I was firm, and sweet.

She sent an E-mail saying that I was going to make this difficult and that's not what she wants. I replied that I wasn't going to 'help' her divorce me. I think it's a bad decision and it's not in the best interests of our kiddos. That's not being 'manipulative'...that's saying the truth. I also told her that if she doesn't love me any more, it's because she chooses not to. Love is a choice...it's not a feeling. I told her that this morning when she called, and it pissed her off.

This stuff is hitting me pretty hard...been living in limbo since Feb. 22nd...and I've been doing the work, really I have. But it still hurts to see this coming about.
