Oh, and he told me we need to sell the house and the property, that it's too expensive, he doesn't know how he's going to make the payment next month since I'm not working. That we need to liquidate our assets (vehicles, boats) but didn't mention the motorcycle. I had to bite my tongue on that one. He wants to get rid of what's important to the boys and I and not the things he likes.
I just said I wasn't making any moves on selling anything at this time.
He said that he was tired of working so hard and killing himself. That he had plans to retire when he's 50 and wants to just go fishing everyday.
I didn't say anything but laugh on the inside. He won't be retiring at 50 paying for 3 young boys to grow up in 2 separate homes. My dad said he is delusional, he has no idea what he is getting himself into and that the happiness and life he is chasing is the life that he already has and doesn't realize it. The job offer I just got would put the 2 of us making insane money with our combined income. We would have life, from a financial standpoint, knocked. If he serves me with D papers or gets his own place, I will file and wrap this up before I take a new job making good money. I know he can take me back to court to re-evaluate what he has to pay but even if he just has to pay a lot for a short amount of time I'm good with that.
My dad keeps telling me my pain is temporary and his will be for the rest of his life, that karma will come around.
