This is the first time Rip has said the not willing to live in an open M speech to his W.
Rip,
Well done. Now you go dark and GAL.
Let your L do all the paperwork and communications on the legal stuff.
Don't do family activities with W. Focus on you and the kids.
You might want to review the Boundary and Validation Cheat Sheets for she will test you.
You might want to take a look at newpand's thread...he found his balls and spoke up to his W. Wow.
You've already said your piece, no need to bring out the same script. It's ACTIONS going forward.
-Cut off any phone plans that W has on your plan -Get your own checking account and move all of your money there -If W stays out after 11 am, lock all the doors -Use the family money for kids' stuff, groceries, and the house's basic needs -Don't pick up any paperwork from W's L...that is weak
