Thank you, snodderly and BMom. I am feeling very strong. I no longer become fearful when xh pulls this stuff. I become angry and take action. I have the power in this situation. Clearly he wants this agreement signed or he wouldn't have sent me a text. He knows he's trying to get over on me. He also knows that if I want to leave the area I can even if I have to go to court first. That was the purpose of his phone call last week. When my attorney informed his that I was moving xh quickly got into action to figure out what he could offer to keep me here. Once I agreed he mistakenly thought he had the upper hand and decided to tweak things in his favor.
Not only does he not have power over me he doesn't have any with the boys either. They told the whole story to the therapist who had "strong words" for xh when he gave him a report on the session. He may never have a relationship with the boys. It's completely up to them and the therapist is backing them up. This therapist is well respected and is very familiar with child custody issues.
Who knows what today will bring. I will talk with my attorney this afternoon. She stills believes we'll get this settled. I trust that she will do her very best and I'll cooperate, but I'm not bending over backwards to accommodate xh. I'd rather cut my losses and be free of this entire situation.
