eyesopen, I didn't mean my statement as a blanket declaration to apply to all situations, just in this particular situation, and many of the WAS situations. There's always another step in the legal process until the D is finalized, and minds can (and do) change during EVERY phase of that process. It's up to you to determine how long you keep fighting.

It's never over until BOTH parties say its over... Mrs. D is a perfect example of this, as she's fighting the good fight even though the process is "legally" complete.

And Rough: I completely agree with your statements as well. We're both fighting the "good fight" here, pouring everything we have into saving our R, but more importantly into saving OURSELVES. I too can't predict the future, but I too believe, at least at this point, that if the D is finalized, I'll be moving on. Obviously, we're all hoping it doesn't come to that in our sitchs, but at some point, I think we all would come to a point that we respect ourselves too much to continue taking up arms against seemingly insurmountable odds.

We've been down this road a little while now, and we're both becoming stronger every day. If nothing else, we can thank our WAS for that! smile
