Wow, can't believe it is coming up on 11 months. Hope everyone is having a good summer. Been a very busy one so far for me and the kids spending lots of time at the cabin and out on the boat. The kids have such a great time at the cabin as they have so much freedom and can just be kids, something that gets lost in the big city these days. D10 went away with a friend for a weekend, first time she has been away without any family around. She struggled a bit the first night but by the end of the weekend she didn't want to leave and had an amazing time. Not much to report on regarding an official separation agreement or the house but I have started the process of moving things along through the court system. W getting a letter from my L went over like a lead balloon but it is not like I didn't give her plenty of notice or multiple opportunities to sit down and figure things out together. Nothing has really happened other the W went and retained counsel. My L keeps asking her L for an update but her L has nothing to report since W won't sit down with them either. Still a long road ahead to get things sorted out but i think I can see the slightest glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel. It may be an expensive process but in the grand scheme of things the money is far less important then my happiness and my life moving forward.
