Wow. 180 city. I told him under no circumstances will he insult me (calls me a"nut job" frequently) if there are to be any legal negotiations or otherwise. I also said I would take the papers to my lawyer and I told him it was in my own best interest. When he started criticizing me for going off the rails, I said he has the same problem and has no place to criticize.
I really laid down the law with him. I feel scared, but proud of myself.
Good job! Now, be consistent with this. This is part of taking back (a) control and (b) your self esteem. He will test you, so be prepared.
