Thank you, mizj. This weekend has been a roller coaster ride. Xh is in a bad place. He wasn't as open as some MLCers as reported on the boards, but he has admitted to having lots of anxiety and is emotionally unable to deal with much.
Xh's behavior and settlement demands are all fear-based. He's worried about how he'll survive on his own (away from OW) once he pays the higher support I am asking for. He seems to want sympathy for a situation that he created. He chose to run away and into a bad R. He hurt me and the boys. We all need therapy. I need meds. What a mess and he still doesn't seem to see the connection that it was his poor choice that put this in motion. How do you explain this to a troubled, addicted person when they're still blaming others and feeling sorry for themselves? The boys therapist will be calling him to talk to him about starting his own therapy. Maybe he'll finally listen.
