Hi musclegal-

Yeah, I have to blame myself to some degree for creating the monster. I think your cell phone plan sounds good. Keep up the no contact and get yourself emotionally and mentally healthy. I'm so happy how well it's worked for me. Amazing how clear things look when you finally get some distance. I'm embarassed at how I behaved. I truly was pathetic. I can't beat myself up too much, as I know it was out of an effort to be loving and caring. I'm learning that tough love is very appropriate in many cases!

Speaking of selfish and manipulative, got another bomb dropped on me yesterday. My STBXW served me with papers and is suing me for full custody of the kids. Guess she doesn't like that I've moved on and can't be manipulated by her. Spoke with my attorney this afternoon. He thinks the court will opt to maintain the status quo, since it's been working for us, but I'm looking at thousands of dollars of attorneys fees. Five grand to retain the guy! The hits just keep on comin'.
