Thank you so much, snodderly. I am trying really hard to stay patient and not let fear take over. I am standing my ground, but know that it could blow the current settlement to bits. I have total faith in my attorney though. She has been very good at giving me a reality check and also seems to work well with opposing counsel. So far xh seems to want to just get this done even if it means he needs to re-think some issues. I'm staying clear of him. Too many bugs in his ear could send him running. He already has his attorney and OW advising him.
My best friend called last night, the one the boys and I will be visiting on Thursday. She told me that she, her h, sister and friends are all ready to help me and the boys find temporary housing if it turns out that we decide to move quickly. She said that between them they have plenty of furniture, etc. to make a home for us and will get us set up in no time. Thank God for loving, supportive friends, even those I've never met.
I will be meeting with a realtor and also feeling out the job market during my trip. I'm still pursuing Plan B until the ink is dry on Plan A.
