See hope, want to get there

[Gnosis]

Dale, I've been out all day and just got in. I see that you've been quite busy. I haven't read all of CG's posts to you, but as you can see, she is quite clued up on the legal side of things.

So, your W hasn't filed. That's good. This is all you needed to know. I'm glad to see you have a business attorney and that you have been familiarizing yourself with the legalities involved. However it is always advisable to get a L who is completely familiar with D in your state so you will know what you can/not do.

From what I have seen in your posts of today is that you are letting paranoia and fear creep in. E.g. Your D calling. You need to reign that in. You should not be living in a state of anxiety every time the phone rings. You have been busy -- and that is a valid excuse. Use the following rule of thumb: If you are busy, you do not need to answer the phone. If your children call, by all means answer. If they try to talk about your W or your relationship, you can listen and validate. You do not need to share information with them as to what it is you are thinking. That is between yourself and W. The kids should not be involved.
