Ad, Thanks for this - It made me stop worrying so much about what had happened yesterday.

Yep, I need a thick skin - and I should be past this point of doubting what I am doing.

STBX is still very convincing in his arguments... he spent most of yesterday telling me that I was in control of my L and thus the way the case was going (expensive) was all of my making.

As nutty as he is, he still manages to plant a seed of doubt in my mind about any action that I take. He is always 'right'. And I always end up thinking, 'maybe he is...'

In short, I needed to hear your words.
