So, got a long email last night filled with euphemisms (never said the word "divorce" or "file" or "summons"). But he's retained a traditional lawyer, abandoning our mediation process, and will be serving me with some official documents (that he claims is a 'letter' and not a divorce summons).
The good news is that after years of being naive, I finally am able to take him at his actions, and not at his word. He says, if I choose not to trust him, there is not much he can do about this. He says he doesn't want this to be adversarial. But he cannot have a conversation with me in person about his concerns or try to problem solve together.
so, I move onwards. There is a lot of good stuff out there for me, and this whole experience has been transformative. He is such a fool.
