Yesterday was absolutely brutal and made the others look like a day in church. The hateful, mean things that came out of her mouth were like nothing I've ever seen out of her. Sigh.

It's almost as if she truly hated me. Truly. Definitely not the person I knew for the past 11 years. Ugh.

And to think, that was just mediation. My lawyer (and the mediator too) felt that she would have lost it if we had to go in court. She thought I was going to roll over and just let her have everything. Everything came out in my favor but for some reason I didn't go after everything I was entitled too. Oh well, I did enough.

The trade off today was, well,terrible. The kids didn't want to go to her...and her temper was coming out. I think she's close to the brink...

None of this is worth it, my friends. This was the lowest thing I've experienced, ever. The change from the last time I saw her at last trade off to the hatred in her eyes was unbelievable. My lawyer says I dodged a bullet by getting away from that crazy family. Maybe so.

Don't expect miracles, my friends. Protect yourself first because they will be something you don't know. And prepare yourself for life without them, because rarley, if ever, do they come back.


There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
