W's L just called my L to ask if we'd accept service via mail. So W has filed.
Now we have to wait for the mail to come to see what temporary orders W may have filed with this.
I'm glad she filed first. She gets to live with that, too.
I'm also relieved that the clock is now running.
Sandi, thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate your support, and I'm glad that I have renewed your hope in some men. I will come out of this ok, no doubt about it. The kids will be losers in this, but I'll protect them the best I can.
W, well, she's revealed a lot of negative traits in the last year, an inability to deal with anything in a rational way, and she's driven by resentment and vengeance, doesn't recognize that as her problem, and it's getting worse. I'm sure it's the makings for a treacherous D, but she's making it easy to walk away. I just hope to be clear of ground zero when she crashes.
