Thanks y'all. Because I'm headed to litigation, I'm hesitant to post much more here. But as I've become acutely aware, the more W pursues the D, the more ornery she becomes and I just have to take it.
DB Coach Laurie hinted 15 months ago that someone can't be angry forever, but as Berto's W shows, it may indeed be possible and W is pushing the envelope very hard!
Beyond that, it's in the courts' and God's hands. The only real question I have is when she files (which could be any day now) and I contest, what in the world do I tell my kids--or at least my oldest. It's really no longer feasible for me to attend family events with her side of the family as my ILs have made it known they now disapprove of my stance and no longer wish to maintain anything more than a civil R. As Ricky would tell Lucy, I need to be splaining things.
Oh well. Today is the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul and all I can do is look to his life and his faith and know that being true to myself and my beliefs will bring greater rewards down the road.
