One can get interesting pieces of information if asked in a neutral way, WR. H's response doesn't surprise me at all and I expected he'd do this in making it all about you. Which, as you know, it isn't at all. He's just mad that the process isn't moving as quickly as he'd like nor is he getting his way as he thought he would. Silly man!
I'm going to hand this off to Job who may be able to offer some insights as to the best possible next step in response to H's latest text since she's dealt with this type of thing with her XH. Job will come around here soon enough. Hang in there!
