He's really angry right now about life and it's not going the way he thought he should. He's just a miserable man who doesn't know how to cope and/or figure out that he has to look within to figure things out. He's trying to blame the world every time something goes wrong. We wouldn't want to be him, that's for sure.

I understand why they are encouraging your S18 because he's the only one that has contact w/his father. And because it's probably easier to manipulate him to some degree. I do hope they won't take advantage of him, but he's old enough to see the forest for the trees. Your younger son has stood his ground from the very beginning and he's very hurt by what his father has done. It's going to take a miracle to mend that broken fence, but his father is going to have to be the one to do it w/his son.

I am praying your h will settle down, but I have this feeling he's going to be mean and crazy for a while longer, at least until he gets his money. Buckle up and be ready for that bumpy ride...but you've got a good lawyer and she'll handle him and his lawyer. Don't get into any heated discussions w/the man because he'll only hear what he wants and turn the tables on you every time.

Please take care of yourself.
