I made the mistake of interacting via email a bit too much with STBX today. Initially we had the best of intentions but it turned ugly really quickly.

Ironically part of the discussion was him suggesting we don't need L's and we can do this ourselves, he will not fight alimony, child support, etc but why make the L's rich?

When our conversation took a turn I pointed out that this was precisely why we need them and I promptly disengaged. Giving myself a full time out and taking a nice long walk.

I see clearly that I am in for a long road, sadly
