FVF,

Nope, hon. This is the right forum for your sitch. I am SOOOO sorry for your pain. What you are going through is a very rough road, and I'm afraid it's gonna get tougher before it's all over.

What have you done to protect yourself? In the event it comes to D, I mean. Are you presently working...I understand about the SAHM thing. Have you consulted with an attorney to know what your rights are if you D? Sounds like it's time for a showdown, but you gotta get your ducks in a row before you confront, honey. Not only necessary, but it will help your confidence too. You get one chance to confront properly, so sit tight for some coaching on it.

This just goes to show how we only hear one side of a sitch on this board. I would never have imagined some of the things you've described in your sitch from your h's side, but I've read enough that your story is familiar to me... I'm sure these events were NOT what you had in mind now that you finally have an empty nest. POOP!!

You will receive more help soon...weekends tend to be slow on the boards. You need to send up the PUPPY LIGHT if he doesn't show up soon. Puppy has the experience, toughness and sensitivity (sorry Puppy) to offer advice on strategy.

Keep your poker face on for now. (((HUGS)))
