I have no time to go thro' all the posts of your sitch, I just grapse a very rough idea. Your H behaved in some ways very similar to mine. Both of them are manupilators. He won't call or told the kids to call and tell me what time they'll come back, to give me time to prepare meals by letting me know if they (he) want to have meals or not, he supposed I am available all the time and I am a fast food stand. And that I have no where to go except to wait for him bringing back the kdis from don't know were, never give a call or text msg or just told the kids to call. He also has no respect on what he put on the agenda of his planning, he changes without any prior notice or whatsoever. Because I don't work, I have no planning and just like all those years that I must adapt to his schedules. He also told me to pay for the property tax of the house and I also refused. I think I would like to know your sitch more. I suggest you to do a summary on your next thread because your current one will be locked up soon so that I can understand more.
