I hope the lawyer appointment went well yesterday and you got some answers. It’s not a nice feeling having to look into this stuff.
Met with attorney for almost 1 hour. I'm doing o.k. Tried to view it as a business meeting. I understand the process, and believe I will get enough of a settlement and alimony to keep the house running. That really is my biggest issue/worry. I want the kids to have a sanctuary to go to when they need it. And that is home. She also believes that as long as H keeps contributing to all the bills, there is no reason to file for D (unless of course I want to because I'm done) or split bills like cell phone or insurance. He's proven for 10 months that we can keep 2 residences going. But, she would recommend filing for D if he changes where his paycheck goes and I'm at the mercy of him covering the deficit in my bills. I'd hate to have to make a choice on filing for D purely out of financial need without being really "done".
H took D20 out for lunch and birthday shopping. H messaged me they had a nice time. He hasn't written that e-mail he said he would about his thoughts, and I'm not really expecting it. How can someone express thoughts on paper when they are so jumbled up and "change hourly" (that's his words). I think it's cowardly he won't do it face-to-face. I guess he can't face me. Anyway, no expectations.
I'm anxiously awaiting to see if his paycheck will be deposited into our joint account as usual. I have this feeling he changed it. I'll know by Monday. This could potentially significantly change things for me.
One day at a time.
GAL activities tonight and tomorrow. Church and hanging out with D20 on Sunday.
