@Polly. Let's see. She filed for divorce. Since doing so, I've spent $15,000 ($17,750 AU) on an attorney who got so fed up with her lawyer not actually responding to anything that he withdrew as counsel, leaving me with no lawyer and 15-large less with which to get one. She's threatening to go to court to get a judge to order that the house in which I -- and our children -- live be sold immediately, at whatever price it commands, loss or gain. And she deluges me with nastygrams, "thanking" me for reminding her that "we never were anything, we never had anything;" informing me that she "despises" me; dismissing my forthcoming surgery as "drama;" and on and on and on.

So which lessons, exactly, would you recommend I learn? The one where you pretend that it doesn't bother you that the person you committed your life to is trying to destroy you financially?

"Is it not true that we are living examples of our beliefs and our fears are what we attract!"

I don't know. I spent over a year in a nasty place fearing a bullet in the brain or an IED blowing my legs off, yet mercifully I didn't attract either. So....
