Heather, I found your home and quite frankly, it doesn't look bad at all. The dishwasher has been removed from home (in the photos) and there appears to be some spackling done to the walls in the room where the fireplace is. The house was not left in shambles from these photos. It's in extremely good shape. Do you want to know the asking price? If so, I'll be happy to put the link here or the price.
Right now, I wouldn't do anything about the tools. I'd sit on that issue and allow him to show his hand of cards. Don't do anything about the stuff back in OH until you go to court.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
I'm sure they will say that they made all sorts of improvements to make the house look nice.
D12 is telling me how much she misses her old house. I haven't said anything about it selling. It just came up. She said that last night, after the meltdowns, she went and cried because she just wanted to go home to her "real" room.

I'm sorry a loss was taken. It had been listed at $129,900. It was a very nice place and just a little bit of spackling and paint was all that was needed. He just made a mountain out of a mole hill in my opinion.

Regarding his lawyer and what he is doing, some lawyers love to prove how good they are regardless of what is really available for their clients to get out of it. Mt wifes first attorney was like that. She went for broke to say, "Look at me how good I am." My wife had nothing and neither did I. My wife finally figured it out after many thousands of dollars. So, I would be strong and push your lawyer to keep his in check.
Congrats on the house. At least you don't have that to worry about.
I think it will b interesting for his lawyer to prove you sold anything after the filing. My wifes first attorney tried a similar thing on me. All bluster and it disappeared before it even went to court. Its an attempt to intimidate you.

Ok. I had a really good day and it sorta scares me.
The editor gave me kudos and said I was rapidly picking this job up. The publisher called him down to the office and the editor told the publisher that I'm doing great and told him the above.
The publisher, then, sent me an email with an atta boy for handling a situation with a disgruntled reader.
Then, we went to this absolutely, ridiculously awesome counselor. All three of us went.
She said sorta what I believe...It was validating.
She said that when you break away from a toxic situation like we did...there's a ripple effect. I had told her about the sexual assault and the domino effect of things that seemed to have followed us from Ohio. She said that I'm redefining myself and she pointed out how each of us has had to face a different demon with this move. D20 is facing humility. I'm having to assert myself and D12 is facing change.
Both girls felt comfortable and seemed so much more relieved and positive after the appointment. We felt hopeful again.
I received an email from my atty during the appt. saying the court approved my request to use the phone instead of travelling to Ohio. My atty still wants me to come. I don't know yet what I want to do. But, I was terrified of opening another email. TERRIFIED. I thought for sure it would be something else awful...he is asking for custody or whatever.
For tonight, I'm taking the good and trying to calm my nerves down a bit.
I know I can handle whatever I decide to do.
Smokey is feeling like less than a threat and, somehow, that's a really scary feeling to live without so much fear. How freaky is that?

But, the publisher and editor don't seem convinced, yet, that I can handle another paper or more pages in my paper. So, I still have a hard task ahead. I have made progress though!!!
