I Still Think It's Too Late (pt 2)

[1313]

Well, this is it.
I've talked with the attorney several times today - there's no going back at this moment. The W hasn't said anything further to her attorney.

In order to "stop the divorce" we would both need to sign off (the petitioner would need to initiate) and the only consideration for this is reconciliation. Apparently, whether or not that was a thought it's gone now.

I'm not willing to mediate at this point, I've been lied to too many times. I never would have known about that bank account - who knows what else I might learn?

The L thinks that the W wanted to stop because she will have to pay so much in spousal support. Welcome to California. I still want to believe she - even for a moment - considered R.

As far as the dog - this is one of the 2 fights my L sees for tomorrow. the W has no intention of even splitting time with me.

I've printed out text messages and emails showing she had no idea what the dog even ate, where to get it, when to give her heart meds to her - and claiming she would never go to court over the dog. Yet, here we are! The words out of her own mouth are pretty damning.

I even have a video. I'm not sure that will come into play, because it was the assistant who claimed I ignored the dog, not the W the day I was recording. How stupid is it to say somebody did something when that person is video recording the event? But, it's probably not admissible. The W mentioned it in her response though - who knows what the court might think. Still, I want to be 101% prepared. I'm making no assumptions.

I really, really don't want to see the W tomorrow. It's going to be hard to keep it together. She's probably looking fantastic by now. And, getting ready for her little week long trip with the OM. While somebody else takes care of the dog.

I too was hoping for a session today Tim, but I don't have time. Who knows, I'll probably need it worse after I go to court. I just can't believe it was only Friday that for almost 24 hours it looked as if things had turned around. That I stood a spec of a chance. How cruel. I wonder if she realizes? Why would anybody do that?

Sorry to bail, but I've got to keep printing and organizing. Once I feel good about presenting this stuff with a non-functioning brain first thing in the morning after no sleep - I'll check back in.

Yeah, the W practices "as if" too. As if your H was Satan.
