Sorry Julie, I was going to write about how my W actually uses the movie Frozen to justify her MLC behavior. Like she has been hiding "her true self" all along, only she doesn't seem to understand the part where she has to reintegrate and go back to her old life and responsibilities like Elsa does.
Now I can't believe what your H said to you! I wouldn't say that to my worst enemy. What a tool! Your journals (at least in my state) can be used as evidence if it comes down to you having to protect yourself. Also, cruelty is something that the courts take in consideration in D. In TX "spousal support" (no alimony here) can be increased and extended if there is verbal or physical abuse. For him to be that much of an a$$hat for zero reason is as low as it comes. It is a way to bait you, get you to react. Be careful and document everything.
