GM, I think you've come to realize that you can't discuss the details of the settlement w/your h. I agree that from now on, any questions he has regarding what your "sticking points" are, he should be speaking to his lawyer about it. That's what both of you are paying the lawyers to do, i.e., hash out those "sticking points". Once he comes to realize that he can no longer control and/or manipulate you, maybe he'll move forward. He's been the master of control/manipulation for quite some time and he tends to tell you things that have given you hope and as for being nice...never trust that quality w/mlcers when it comes to dealing w/divorce and settlement. A large majority of them always have an ulterior motive and it's always something they want and not the other way around. It's all about them and they will do anything to try to get what they want.
I would suggest that you only respond to questions regarding the children for now. As for any other conversations, either refer him to your lawyer or change the subject.
GM, freedom isn't that far away, but you need to be patient a while longer. You don't want to appear too impatient because that's when errors can be made. Dig deeper for a bit more patience. Okay?
I think you are slowly discovering the new and improved GM as you travel your life's path, whereby the need to control something is no longer important. Take time to stop and smell the roses along the way. Enjoy the little things in life and always remember...those dust bunnies will be there another day, i.e., they sure aren't going away any time soon. LOL.
I hope this week is a far better week for you. Take care of yourself.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
