Hi everyone-

I've been around, lurking, but I haven't really had much to say lately. D17 is still coming by the apt more often and getting her room in shape, and S19 just finished his first year of college yesterday.

I sent my counter-offer to stbx last night and I'm waiting for the backlash. I'm amazed he was asking for my response within two days of sending it. I finally sent it after 10 days and reviewing it with my atty. Basically, what it comes down to is that I want an equitable 50/50 split of the assets and spousal support reasonably close to that under the "Income Equalization" theory. I'll forgo a year of child support if he comes close to that- right now he isn't on either point. I can't believe that I was worth less (than him) in this M.

I have been a little dismayed reading some of the comments on a couple other threads lately. I realized I was taking them personally and therefore kept my mouth shut- some of their comments are remarkable similar (sometimes even the same!) to what stbx told me. (I do realize that the guys are venting...)

Tonight is IC appt. I'm not sure how much longer I'll keep them up, I usually feel fine.
