(((Dedicated))) - I haven't had time to read your whole thread- it is long :-). But r22 asked some of us to look in on you- I agree, move to newcomers and also, what helped me get more comments on mine was to start commenting on others' threads- even if you feel you're really new and don't have much advice to offer, stop by some others' and leave small comments. And then link your thread in your signature so those people can look easily if they're curious.

I want to know- since you're 'dedicated'- and I don't mean this to sound harsh- but when are you going to be 'dedicated' to YOU? This man- his behavior right now- to me is not deserving of anything from you. You need money, protection- financial and physical possibly, based on some of your comments- and to keep you and your kids healthy and safe. If you don't have your own job or money and he's cutting you off, I myself might file to protect assets b/c you can't be dependent on him at this point. And the filing of D is NOT the anniversary of it- that would be when the D becomes final. So do what you need to do, ok?

I don't know how much I'd rely on his fam. do you have family/friends in area to lean on?

I'll try to check in again on you-- but move your thread and link it in your signature--

take care-
Alice

When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go;
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow;
Go ask Alice...
I think she'll know.
