Ring On or Ring Off????

[ddstartingover]

After all the emotional e-mails I sent, I finally got an e-mail in return last night. It essentially says he is sorry for sending the e-mail----thought it was ok, since he's asked for D by email before. Promises to be compassionate. Only wants met to hire a lawyer that he can work with "informally."

Yes, I replied. Calmly.

I will hire the lawyer, but will give strict instructions that she is not to do anything but represent my interests and what I want. I truly believe he expects to be able to contact her and work with her - to write up the divorce for him (since he is not a divorce lawyer) and then have her file it for me.

I don't know. I really don't have a choice here. And it sucks. And I'll move forward.
