The tunnel of darkness

[kjensen]

I'm off through 3/30. I have to ask for vacaton a year ahead of time and have always asked for the time of the kids' spring break off, so that we could go somewhere as a family.

About the rewriting..I guess I imagined that H gave his version of the history to his lawyer. But it seems somewhat embellished from anything I've heard H describe. H never told me that he was home so I could further my career(which as a pharmacist, there's not much to further, unless I go back to school!) The length of time that H stayed home has been exagerrated..so I think some of it must be from his lawyer.

My lawyer sent our counteroffer to H's lawyer today. In it he states that I do not agree with H's version of history...that I'm solely supporting the girls right now..I think it was a well-crafted response. I just feel H's lawyer is one of those guys that tries to play hard-ball and rack up fees in the process. Not the kind of process H had said he'd want for a divorce...but its what he has.

With the snowstorm we're getting, I told D12 we may not drive to Moab on Sunday..it would depend on the roads. I also said I wasn't sure what I could afford right now since I need to pay some money to my lawyer..she got upset and went on a rant how her dad screwed everything up, how we lived in a great neighborhood, in a great house and had money to do things and now we live in a small condo and are broke...she had alot of anger towards H..I just listened. I don't feel like defending H to his children anymore or making excuses. I defended him all of last year and H got his second chance with the girls and blew it with D12 when he moved out again.

Its sad that H hasn't tried to really talk to D12, but I don't think he has a clue about the effects this as all had on the girls,even though D12 has at least shared her anger with him...

So H just called, to check on me and D12 since the roads are getting bad. He thought if we were out he could pick us up since my rental car probably can't handle this snow too well. It was nice of him to call-very unexpected-haven't talked to him in a long time it seems.. Funny he had no clue we were going to get this storm-he really doesn't pay attention to the news anymore(except financial news). Still in a fog...and now snowstorm!
