Tricked into seperation

[lonelywolf]

Thanks Lfw for the encouragement and kind words.

I'm talking with my lawyer tomorrow. From what I gathered talking to her legal assistant today, unless there's imminent danger of harm, the court will schedule a hearing and I can participate in that.

However, the standards are so loose, that even getting angry with your spouse can be considered abuse if she perceives it as emotionally damaging. So, she'll just have to bring up every argument we ever had, ignore her anger, and claim it was a pattern of emotional abuse.

Her parents have told her the only way to get happy again is make sure I am totally out of her life and the kids lives. Basically, I think just wants the courts to pass a resolution stating I no longer exist, except as an impersonal force that deposits money in her bank account (did I mention she de-listed the bank account from our paypal account and started her own paypal account with it. I'm going to have to change my direct deposit ASAP).

We'll see what the lawyer says tomorrow.

I've also signed up for some DB counseling, because even if the marriage isn't saved, I really need some counseling to make it through this.
