All good questions. Heather, those questions you're asking? Dangerous because you're trying to get in his head. Be careful as it's a slippery slope to get in that kind of mind.
WH, I know you're still in the thick of it. His crazy will last as long as it lasts. But it will be heightened while he thinks he's "competing" with you. That's both good and bad. Good because it makes him vulnerable to your L and you, in a lot of ways. Bad because he won't go away. He got what he wanted, but it's not what he wanted, if you know what I mean.
Bea gave good advice. Know that it will be over. You'll end it. Or at least you'll end the effect it has on your daily life. That time will come. When you're ready. It'll help greatly when the legal junk is mostly over, and that time is coming sooner than later. It'll be bumpy getting there, and nobody will be happy, including you, but it will pass.

It's not a competition to see who's the craziest. This is a legal issue that you're finishing while looking out for your best interests. Be careful not to confuse the two. You're not crazy and have nothing to "win" at this point. You've reiterated to your L to finish this. In fact you've done that several times now. He's bringing it to an end, but don't lose sight of the goal in all of it.
