So I did end up calling two different Ls yesterday. I feel considerably better after at least initially speaking with them. It sounds like most if not all of what is being requested is on the level. I have one appointment scheduled for tomorrow and one I am working on scheduling for next week.
Based on my W's recent actions, threats, and attitude, my trust of her has dropped to a low level. Therefore, it's very likely I will retain one of the Ls I speak with. I am feeling it is the right thing to do to get a good picture of my rights and to be represented, even if my W and I have talked about doing a dissolution instead of a D. I hate to spend the money, but I think it's money well spent.
I realize there is a chance this may wake my W up. Right now, however, with everything I see, it looks like this is the road we're going down. To believe in the chance it may wake my W up is taking a lot of faith, folks. But then again, if everything that was going to happen was right in front, faith wouldn't be required. This isn't necessarily the end, it's just another step down the path. If my W were to wake up, I'd have a decision to make at that time. She's dug herself a pretty big hole. However, I don't have to make that decision today.
In other news, my GAL'ing activities of choice last night included a softball game with my church team. We beat my old church and I went 3 for 3. Not bad for an old guy. To celebrate, I went out for a 17 mile bike ride after dark. Tonight, I am on the hook for being the substitute group leader for our Healing Relationships group (a.k.a. Ladies' group)
