>>@BA- "I don't blame you one bit. You have no obligation to talk to him personally and it's just crazy to think a divorce decree would mandate planning and holding a joint birthday party - you are no longer a couple do primarily to his failings and he needs to accept that and move on himself."

Yes, BA, it appears that my H believes if you throw enough money behind super L's, anything can be done! In some ways that may be true, a dream team can sometimes accomplish the seemingly impossible, as history proves.

I've completed my response to motion---only took me 20 hours, or so crazy, but I'm satisfied it captured the important message I wanted to convey.

My S7 just returned last night from a week with H & I managed to stay NC, excepted with a couple of phone calls directly to S during that time. It hasn't been easy, I get e-mail & phone calls daily, turning up the heat on me to re-establish contact.

I think about when I did cave to the pressure & it makes me sick. That's all I have to do to stick with my decision.

The longer it goes on, the meaner he gets. The call from S7 last week had OW laughing in the background, then interrupting him to ask if he was ready for his freshly baked cookies & get back to playing Go-Fish with everyone.

So, today is the first day of our vacation until school begins in a week or so, and I'm really looking forward to enjoying it with my family. I did get an e-mail yesterday asking me if I wanted to just cancel my vacation & take it some other time, since I had to cancel my trip plans (due to his filing court motions) crazy

A record 2 crazies in one post! I guess there could be more if I thought about it...but I'm not.

Thanks for your post BA, and I hope everyone has a great weekend!
