Val:

Thanks for the words of encouragement. It's difficult not getting emotional, but I'm doing my best to stay as even tempered as possible.

I hope I handle our marriage settlement conversation as well as you did. As you so aptly chronicled, it may not seem like DB'ing, but I need/must stand up to my WAW. I need to do what's best for me and not let hope cloud or influence what is justly mine.

It's difficult not getting angry/emotional when I know she's now picked up sailing while I'm dealing with banks and realtors associated with the short sale on our house.

Intellectually I know I'll get through this, but the emotions are still trailing behind.
