Thanks V. Your perspective on what H is going through is interesting. I didn't even think of that. As far as getting my things, it might end up taking a court order if he doesn't respond soon. I don't know if it is him or his lawyer that is holding it up. He is famous for putting things off indefinitely. I can't believe that I am still putting my life on hold for him. I can't wait for that to be done.

This is going to be one hell of a school year. Both D12 and OW D made the soccer team so there will be a lot of encounters in addition to the normal school stuff that comes along with OW being one of Ds teachers. I think that employing as many DB tactics as possible will be essential. Especially acting as if. One thing I refuse to do is hide. Right now it seems to be OWs MO. She runs whenever she sees me. I have to stop worrying about who knows what when I am at these events, and I have to stop wondering who is taking sides. I will just act as if everyone is on my side. I won't discuss anything I don't feel comfortable discussing, and I won't be dishonest if anyone asks me about the situation. I will not cover up, nor will I slander (but God is that so tempting). However, I will not pretend that she is a friend and I will let their actions dig their own graves.

I think of how much strength it took to survive the end of the school year last year with my job. I still don't know how I did it. I am still shell shocked by the entire experience. But I managed that situation, and I can manage this situation. God help me.
