Thanks for your support Huddy, know you've been down this path to an extent. I'm actually wondering if I'll make it past the 2nd mediation meeting w/ W expecting to keep all that she thinks is hers & then have half of what's mine too; not going to happen on my watch. The perspective you offer wrt custody is reassuring, especially as I intend to stay in & around the area for schools/friends/family and can’t imagine Ss would want anything else; W wants to move away and seems to think nothing of uprooting Ss to this end.
Yep it's nonsense Huddy, W was just lashing out when bringing up lending me money. Even if she had helped me out all those years ago it would have been well before we started living together and could have no bearing on current financial separation.
Interesting remark from my W this morning...
Bedroom TV is on in the background while W gets ready for work and I’m awoken by a loud slanging match between two sisters on the Jeremy Kyle show -British equivalent to Jerry Springer. W apologises for it being so loud as to wake me up, then says “It makes me feel better about my life!” Of course, I could retort in numerous ways along the lines of...”Well your life is the result of all your own choices & decisions!” but I'm using LBS duct tape more & more these days.
