I don't know her (I promise). I have been reading on the website for a while, have the DB book, and started perusing the forums a month or two ago. I haven't been able to bring myself to post my sitch. I am getting there, I promise, but have a hard time writing it down.
I joined when I did because I was really alarmed by what I was reading in GMUM's post. I feel very strongly that he is being taken advantaged of by her husband. And that she needed to protect herself and her child.
I have twice been the person that stood by a friend when their husbands asked for divorces. I have sat in aattorney meetings as a support person and to take notes. Additionally, I have sat through one multi-day divorce trial.
I am no expert, but I don't like to see people get taken advantage of. And I feel like GMUM's husband is pushing fpr things that are not in her best interest. Additionally, GMUM is likely (not sure of her state's laws) afforded certain protections had she filed for temporary orders (like he would have to maintain their current residence, etc).
I think GMUM gets now that she needs some protections, so I won't post on this thread anymore. Sorry to make anyone uncomfortable.
NO, no, no! I don't want to run you off. I thought perhaps you somehow know her in real life, and were doing your best to make sure she takes care of herself.
Either way, what you're doing, jumping in to make sure Gmum has great support, is awesome! I'm concerned about her, too. I think her H will run the show and run all over her if she's not careful. You are being most helpful in pointing out that possibility to her.
I'm looking forward to seeing your own thread when you get it set up. This DBing is hard stuff, and we all can use every bit of help and advice we can get.
I'm so sorry that I made you feel that you had to leave. It wasn't my intention at all.
