Jim, yes that's exactly right. I moved far away and started over but when he visits I no longer feel detached. It's impossible to avoid this because we have a daughter unless I find someone to hand her off and receive her so I don't have to see him at all. If he moves here to this area it'll be good for our daughter but bad for me. There's always the glimmer of hope that he'll turn his life around and we can try again but in reality I know this is unlikely. Seeing him and having positive interactions with him just makes it hard to detach.
My husband says he'll still support us even if he has to borrow money from his family. My physician friends say he should be able to get another job in a few weeks. I hate to fork over another $200 or $300 for a lawyer consultation but if my husband doesn't send what we need at the end-of-the-month then I'll see a lawyer. I do wonder how they can make someone pay if that person is unemployed and has no income. I'm still hoping though my husband will find another job and keep supporting us as he's been until we decide to formally divorce. I'm going to ramp up my consulting hours in the meantime.
I was wondering if there's any news on your end about your divorce?
