Wow. Leave your post unattended and the vultures circle and eat it.
Gypsy. I virtually thought about you just this morning, wondering how you're doing.
Here's a good news bad news story, XW is moving in with her smarmy boss. In a perfect world that will get her off of my pay roll and make me an extra $100 per day...(no shi&...$100!), but as you may know, nothing is linear with XW...it's always an oblique minefield from point A to point.......K, so I'm expecting a serpentine movement through this issue.
The bad news is S14 is moving an additional 35 minutes away. Breaks my heart, but I already have a lawyer, and will be headed back to court. XW already "declared" S14 will be with her M-F, because he needs to be in a "stable place" because of his "newly diagnosed ADD". Not like he's in a wheelchair on a ventilator, but that's how she portrays his "crippling new affliction". He's basically a 14 year old male who isn't crazy about school, but loves sports. Sounds like....well, me at that age. It boils down to her not wanting to drive him halfway to my house, an option that I'm pretty sure won't favor her or her move in court.
Kids really get taken for a tsunami ride in a divorce. I look at my kids and my new wife's kids, and they have really been tossed around, even though she's been divorced over 10 years now. A counelor I once saw called divorce "violent". She knew her shi*.
