Well the vacation went great. The W found out that I left town to visit friends because she called me on the day I was to return to tell me that Daughter was sick and she wanted me to take care of her while she went to work. When I told her that was not possible because I was out of town, she blew. (big surprise) She was mad that i had not called her laywer yet to start the stipulated divorce. I explained that my vacation was well deserved and that I was not going to ruin it thinking about the divorce. I told her that I would deal with it when I got back. She then made and appointment and told me to be there if it was covienent for me. ( same impatience as always in the relationship).
I will be sure to get advice from other laywers before meeting for the divorce. Friends are showing great support which is nice. Even her friends are wondering what is wrong with her.
Anywho, I feel like I may be turning a corner in my life and although I have a long way to go to heal on all different levels, I am taking this pretty well so far.
