Zoo, it was great to hear from you. I'll have to check on you soon.
Michele, I may reply via e-mail to your other note.
I got home tonight to see another letter from W's attorney. I think I'll call her Mrs. Eliot Spitzer for now, because when I finally meet her, she is sure to have snarly fascist fangs. Basically, she threatened me to halt college savings for my kids as a dissipation of marital assets and called my desire to give money to the Church "ludicrous" because my present conversion is designed "to use the tenets of W's religion to extort her not to pursue a divorce." How very nice. I think I'll pray for her tonight.
And this leads me to the kids (S10, D9, D6) and how difficult it is to keep saying only that Mommy and Daddy love you very much. What do you say to them when Mommy is suing Daddy for D and daddy is defending the action? When I may have to nix a vacation because I need to pay lawyer or save for college, what do I tell them?
I guess the only thing I can do is keep taking one day at a time and trying to be the best Dad that I can as it comes.
Oops. My girls are calling. I guess the movie they are watching is over. W is in NYC for a night out on the town with who know who, but I've still got me!
