WR, Your h most likely heard from your lawyer and is trying to "rush" things along. Funny how they have a "drop dead" date by which time they want everything done and they are "outta here". I wonder what is up w/Christmas. Could it be the end of the year and he wants to start fresh in 2014? Time will tell on that one.
It's going to be interesting to see if you are going to be asked to pay a portion of the mortgage again. I think the man has money and just doesn't want to spend it on a mortgage or any other bill, even bills he's incurring. It's very sad that he doesn't or can't recognize that his family needs a place to live and the other necessities of life. But, the mlc journey is all about them and still that's not excuse for bad behavior when it comes to destroying others just because they aren't happy.
You definitely need to know what happened to the Honda. Bet he got rid of it and is using the money for fun things. If he's done that...another mess that will need to be cleared up.
I am very sorry that you and your boys are going through this. It is a nightmare and one that you don't wake up from for many months. Please, please take care of yourself. Your boys are relying on you to be the adult and take care of them as their father's not capable of doing so.
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.
