Hi RAI.
It's been a very long time since I posted on your thread but I was catching up. It sounds like you are in the midst of it all as I am and I understand the feelings and struggles you are having...GAL, holding WWs secrets from kids, friends, and family, financial uncertainties.....

you are doing great though. Don't let that SOB lawyer beat you up emotionally - it is what he is paid to do. You know the facts and should only deal with those - let the inflammatory words just be blah blah blah. (kind of like the teacher in the charlie brown).

I have dealt with these things with a half smile and even sometimes a wink to let them know they are not penetrating your armor. Then respond thoughtfully and without emotion dealing only with the facts.

I like your list of things you are grateful for - I will write my own too (there really are many).
I will also post some songs on your playlist (that is a great idea).

I don't know what state you are in (for some reason I think we may be in the same), but the courts are favoring the 50/50 physical and legal custody arrangement we have worked out - one of our biggest challenges is common child bills and how they are being paid.

hang in there
u-turn
