Hi Aver,
I'm here! I'm frustrated with my inability to connect except on BB or at work - but work's calming down a little. The other thing I don't have at brothers' is TV. He refused to pay the $17/mo. for local channels (no cable). I just called & if I want just local stations that's their lowest price. I declined, we'll see how desperate I get.

Well, just had a meltdown after reading ltr. from H's L, which my L had emailed me on Thurs. Not wanting to wreck my weekend, I waited til today to read.

Looks like H is taking exception w my math on the cr card debt. He claims I should pay $4500 (my split was 4000 me, 5500 H). Not right, but what is right about this S?

His L claims we made no mention of the $15,000 cash acct. & it should be split evenly. Now I have to look all that up - I am kicking myself for letting him handle all the 401K consolidation, I think that's my stock buyout from several yrs. ago.

Funny how her agrmt. didn't address anything regarding our retirement accts!

She also claims they need proof of value of my 401K. Guessing that's my current one?

And finally, he wants us to remove the para. stating we ea. pay our own legal fees, the one I agonized over considering asking him to pay my fees or half of.

It's not what's in this letter, it's just this process. It's killing me slowly. This is what we're reduced to, haggling over money & fees & how much does he get of a cash windfall I got during our M.

I just closed my door & cried & cried. I'm still crying right now. Somehow when it comes down to the dark & ugly of this D, coming here to post is my first reaction.

And, he wants to have one of the dogs. This doesn't really make me want to rush to email him about "talking" about it, as he asked.

Sorry to be such a downer. I just can't stand this. And so the wounds re-rip open. On & on it goes... uggghh.

Thank you for checking in (((Aver))). I'll try to stop by your thread. I hope you are doing OK my friend.
