Ok, so three weeks have gone by since I went to the lawyers. In those three weeks, things have gone pretty much the same after the initial confrontation when he received the letter. He was furious that I would set this in motion. He wants the D, but he wants it done his way with me and the kids giving him whatever he wants/needs.
Last night he drove by, on duty. I was shoveling the driveway with our youngest son. He parked the cruiser in the middle of the road and walked up the driveway without saying one word to me. Then five minutes later he walked back out and got into the car. I said, You have a good night. He drove about two feet, stopped, rolled down the window and asked, "Am I ever going to get the weight set?" I asked him, "Where would you put it? And besides the kids and I are using it." (He lives on top of a funeral home and there's no way he could have it there.) Anyhow, he hollers, "Fine, why don't you just keep everything!", and drives off.
When I finish the driveway and go into the house, my 16 year old says, "Dad asked us if he could have the weight set and we said that we are using it. He was furious, said, "Whatever!" and left." So, I apologize and tell them that he's probably just stressed with all the lawyer stuff, but really I just want to yell at him for taking out his anger on the kids. He rarely sees them, and when he does, he harasses them about our situation.
Seriously, does anyone have any suggestions?? This doesn't feel like divorce busting to me, it just seems like divorcing!
