Thought the roller coaster had bottomed out

I have been told that she is going for every penny she can get and that will render me homeless and with no business.

Told by whom? By her? By another person?

Obviously I know nothing of UK divorce laws... but a mantra I've told myself over and over throughout this mess is that I'm not the first person to go through this and I won't be the last. My kids aren't the first to go through this and they won't be the last. Others have come before and survived and thrived, and we will too.

Others have owned businesses and houses and survived. Maybe in a different house, maybe in a different line of work but they've made it through, and you will too.

If it's your W saying you'll be penniless I would guess she's speaking out of fear. Fear makes us do stupid things... she's going to go after you so you will not fight her on the D and give in. If that is the case perhaps you can help her see you're not fighting her. If it's what she wants, it's what she wants. Sort of like Jujitsu, where you simply take your opponent's power and redirect it back at them.
