Into the Fire (LB55 thread 2)

[Ready2Change]

I have a question that I keep meaning to ask but keep forgetting. What is the general consensus about informing people that were/are friends from our marriage? We had a bunch of joint friends from around town and i don't think any of them know what is going on. I would like to start working on those friendships again but they live within 3 blocks of my W and are sure to want to know what the deal is.

I would keep the details of your sitch private with most people. Pick a few close friends for real discussions.

"It ran it's course" is one of my favorite answers for people who ask.

I would also wait until restraining order is gone before going anywhere near the house.

I owe the L another $5000, makes it tough to feel good about GAL and spending money with that kind of debt hanging over your head. The L's both know how much we have, and W is playing right into their hands with email after email that cost $60/each to complain about nonsense.

This is what angered me the most. Do what you can to minimize legal cost. Don't quibble over little things. Stand firm on the important things.

So frustrating.

Yes. the whole thing is emotionally and financially devastating.
