Bunny, if he doesn't know the background, then you are getting general advice for a "normal" situation. You are NOT IN a normal situation. You are with an abuser. Your attorney has to be informed about this. Your H is not going to suddenly stop manipulating after you leave the house.
My reaction is that I would not present something like that alone with him.
I would like to get Bridgestone in on this, as she's been through some of it. I think she's out of town today though.
