Well, the appointment with the L is over. He says this has been one of the most difficult cases he has ever had to deal with, but he still seems confident. He did warn me that as Arkansas is not a no-fault state, my H will, as the Plaintiff in this case, have to take the stand and say that I have made his life intolerable somehow. My L is so cute! He's keeps thinking I'm the weeping woman type. H has said far worse to me over the past year.
There is a little devil on my shoulder that says next Tuesday night, the day before court, while he is psyching himself up for the next day, I will slip him a little Email that says only "When you take the stand tomorrow and say how I made your life miserable, please have the common courtesy to look me in the eye." That ought to blow his psyche all over the place. At this point, what's a little nudge over the edge?
All appears to be going as well as can be expected. This time next week, I'll be a single woman again. I remember Snodderly, baby steps to happiness. One at a time.
