Oh crap. So I wanted to sort the thing because I wanted to make an offer on a house I visited. So I tried to call W, who of course didn't pick the phone up and sent an email saying : "write me an email". So I write this email saying that she stated back in June when she dropped the bomb that she wasn't interested in our assets in France, and if it was still the case because I was contemplating buying a house. She replied the next minute saying now she would seek half of it.
The next thing I know, my lawyer tells me that he just received a call and her lawyer has changed the court petition, she is now asking for 50% of the price of the house, and spousal support on top of child support. There's nothing to do to avoid that. I'll be left with barely enough to survive. I immediately cancelled my cable contract, and will maybe have to start looking for a smaller place where to live. I'm thinking of selling the car too, for a smaller clunker. I'm screwed. Obviously, the plans to get a new home fall through. Thousands and thousands of dollars gone.
I admit feeling bitter today, and I didn't do crap at work. My parents were so happy I was doing better and planning to buy, they wanted to help me with some money... I feel terrible.
But because I am supposed to do good to my enemies, and take the high road and love them, and I'm commited being a Christian no matter what, later this evening I sent her an email saying I was happy she could have some money from our property back in France. (It would have been useless to show her my disappointment of her profiteering, or remind her that she didn't contribute zilch to it, and that was thievery).
My sitch is getting more and more difficult to bear, it can only go upwards now, right?
