Went to see the GAL for the first time 2 days ago and spent a lot of time talking with her. She and I will be talking, I suppose, several times in the near future. She'll be talking with my kids, in both my home and their mothers home, and she'll be talking with my kids mother also. She'll also be talking with people that my witnesses and the opposing sides witnesses. I feel like the initial meeting went OK.

It's scary to me. I've never been in trouble. Now I'm having to deal with lawyers, judges, courts, investigative attorneys, and seeing my name on legal documents. It's intimidating, and makes me uncomfortable.

This has become a war, a war of attrition, a war that I never wanted. I would say it's a war that nobody wins, but she stands to gain a significant amount of money. My children are innocent victims, casualties. I will be a casualty also.
