((((((((Merrick))))))))))) Not much I can think of to say to you other than "let God handle it". I find myself in that same case right now and know it's the right path to choose.
I feel for you so much coz your W can be so harsh and my sit is different in that we just don't talk any more. I need to get out and find a lawyer as well and move on that path.
Take care and be safe. Joel Olsteen is a pretty good preacher......(I like to watch those shows too. unfortunately they keep me up too late though!) Tootles.........
