Down The Divorce Road

[markhaving probs]

Trying, thanks for posting. Luckily, I guess, I have only seen the ILs once in nearly a year, and that was when I went to court for the first hearing.

We were all put into a waiting room before we were called into court. It was the longest 5 minutes I have ever lived, being stuck in one room with my ILs and my W in a smaller room with her L. When I walked into the waiting room, I instinctively said 'Hello'to my ILs, my FIL who I got on with really well, instinctively responded with 'Hello'. My MIL just stared straight ahead without acknowledging I was even there.

I felt I was being treated like I was the one who cheated, I was the one who walked away from a family and a new family home. the old saying 'blood is thicker than water' could not have been more apt.

The one thing I find incredible is the people that are rallying around my W, giving her support, financially and emotionally. I would imagine I am being painted as this horrible, wicked husband who never paid my W any attention, or never told her I loved her every day. They could not be further from the truth.

I want my side of the story to be heard, but I am afraid that will never happen.

I am looking forward to having a new R, but when you have been body and soul with someone for 15 years it seems very difficult, but as gucci loafer and you have said, it will be a huge leap forward in our lives, especially after being treated so badly.

Good luck to you Trying.
