mattdad...i'll post my own thoughts later...but 2 things I think are CRITICAL.

1. Read Sandi's thread about WW's vs. WAWs. It is in Cadet's homework links above. MUST READ.

2. Read BEClem's last post. This gives you an inkling of how far aliens have abducted your former partner (it's over when they say it's over. PERIOD. The sooner you think that way the better.)

3. Get a DB Coach. Use a phone that doesn't show on her bill so she can't see the number which will lead her to this site. Clear your history, etc. But a DB Coach is a must. If you don't have money since she's the breadwinner ask family or friends. Seriously. It's less expensive than a lawyer (which you may need sooner than you think).

If I seem negative I'm not. Prepare for the worst, only then can you work towards the best. Denial will not help you deal with your sitch.

Keep posting.
