Were you able to agree on $ and custody, all that just with the two of you without too much trouble? Mine just never seems to have time to discuss any of this stuff, which is funny b/c he wanted this. Actually, it's not funny- I don't see any indication he's thought anything through, particularly where our D is concerned, which is very disappointing. I'm glad you guys reached an agreement- does that mean you'll just be using the L's to draw up the official papers or do you still have things to settle?
NB- we have verbally agreed on everything. So far. But, that's because H is feeling guilty so he has been oh so agreeable so far. However, I am concerned that he will become more difficult as time goes on. I hope not, but it seems to be too smooth so far. We will see. But, yes... if he remains agreeable then we simply have my L draft it all up, he has one consult with an independent L and it can be done.
Doing better today. I couldn't seem to pull myself out of the sadness yesterday. I guess days like that are to be expected. I ended up getting the kids and staying at my parents for the night last night. I could just tell that I was too emotionally raw and vulnerable and the thought of being around him was too much. It was a good evening with my parents. We went for a long walk in the sunshine, had a nice dinner on the patio outside etc. I feel safe and loved there and that is what I need to heal right now. It is good for the kids to be in that environment too.
