OK, another bunch of $ into paid legal consultation, and yet another person telling me that even if H gave up all his shenanigans and came back, that it would never be the same and that I could never trust this person.
I know that, and yet I still hold out hope. I don't even know what for any more.
Are D lawyers completely jaded, or are they this way because they've seen it all before and are good at predictions?
Random aside - One thing that was very cool was that she took all her notes in shorthand!! I've never actually seen anyone use it before.
She says our residency issue is a mess and with H in yet another state it gets more complicated all the time. It would definitely be to H's advantage if the process was in his state, rather than mine. I wish that weren't the case, because it means I will lose if he filed in his state first. He has not mentioned anything, but who knows what he wanted to talk to me about today. I suspect either D or selling house out here.
Ugh. I want to wake up from this nightmare.
