Ruby, I'm grateful for you, and for everyone on this board. This sitch stinks but at least I've interacted with people like you.
I just returned from a new book club I joined. The two other people in the group are in their mid twenties, but they think I'm also in my twenties, so I won't correct them unless they ask :-) Anyway, it was nice to talk to them and it helped me feel better. Does this count as my new GAL? I also signed up for a bunch of meetups coming up.
I've cried a lot. Screaming? Not so much...Maybe I should try it :-)
I made another mistake: told my mom what happened. She's now beyond angry and swore she will never talk to my H again. When he came over on Xmas Eve and was behaving so loving toward me, she also got her hopes up, and this was a big blow for her too. She was in tears. I felt so bad. Made me realize that although I don't want anyone to hurt me, I cannot accept anyone hurting my mom...I need to stop telling her these things.
Tomorrow will be a better day. Got a conference call with the L so I will ask him all the Qs I have and see what he says about avoiding the court.
