Ginger...I didn't start it. Someone else started it to help me because I definitely need an attorney, and I CAN NOT possibly get one on my own. There's just no way.

And YES, those people DID know I wanted to save the M. They didn't know about the DB, this board, etc...but they ALL knew how much W meant to me and how bad I wanted to keep the family together.

And W had already filed, and it was supposed to already be over but at the last minute she decided to drop it so she could save up, hire an attorney, overturn the MSA that she agreed to, and take custody back.

At this point, I'm not going to drop the divorce once I start it back up. I'm seeing it through. I'm tired of being beaten down by W, insulted, hurt, and seeing S come home hurt, and be put into dangerous situations by W.

IF it changes, of course I'd give the money back.

BUT in the meantime, it's LITERALLY my only option to keep S safe.

So if you'd like to propose an alternative, I'd be willing to hear you out.
