Thank you Bright, 2B and 123Gwen. I so much appreciate all of your support.
The man who is doing this is not the H I know- maybe he will come back eventually but I can't focus on that hope right now. Need to take care of me and kids.
I'm at lawyers office right now waiting to meet. Highly recommended firm by many people. I plan to draft a counter to his terms. And I'm prepared to go to court if I have to. H is freaking out a bit. He doesn't know I'm meeting with a lawyer but he definitely senses the shift in my interactions.

He sent me a 2 page text today which I will share because it shows just how messed up these MLCers are. He really is all over the place.

" I wanted to take a moment away from all of the mess and pain and focus on something important. You and I have accomplished an amazing amount of wonderful things in our lives. Looking backwards over time and focusing on the positives is something I wish I had done more of along the way because there are so many to think about.

Kids are an easy win. We spent most of our lives focused on them and it was worth it in so many ways. They are amazing. So intelligent, independent and caring - all of them (yes even Sean - watching him with Haley makes me so proud). The kids have a great model in us on how to treat people with respect, love, understanding. They will all go on and have successful deep relationships.

You have had the most incredible career imaginable. I am so in awe of everything you have accomplished. I respect the effort you have put it at every stage, every sacrifice, every bit of yourself you have poured into all of it. I am so thankful for the support you’ve given me over the years to allow me to try and find a career that is worthwhile. I’m not sure that I have found it yet but I am very appreciative of how amazing you have always been to all of us.

I am so proud of you and how many people’s lives you have touched. You have created something for everyone to strive towards, your kids, me, our friends, our family all the people you work with and all your patients and their families - we all see you giving all of yourself to help others. You are the perfect example of giving your heart to help other people.

Our relationship hasn’t always been “perfect” in whatever fantasy world people imagine love being perfect. It has been us figuring things out through incredible struggles along the way. You never “broke” you just keep fighting and figuring out new ways to get better, healthier and move forward. We’ve been through some darkness and have experienced some amazing highs together. Everything from the beginning of our relationship forward was the world pointed against us - being broke, in debt, stupid long hours, leaving us with crappy ways to communicate at times but you stuck through it all.

You deserve a love that you have offered at every step. I’m happy that we’ve been able to accomplish so much in very meaningful ways in our lives thus far. yes our relationship has evolved over time into something different but I am very much still in awe of the woman and the person that you are. I very much appreciate what you have brought into my life.

Thank you for being you."
