Quote: This is my first time posting and I have to say I never thought I would have a need for a forum like this. It always happens "to someone else". I'm sure everyone here feels the same. My H and I have always had an intense and loving relationship. In the last year he's yelled in the midst of a fight that he wanted a divorce. I never commented or questioned. In March 2005, papers were served and was I surprised, angry, hurt - you name it, I felt it. Of course, I tried to talk to him (I didn't have the DB book as yet) but he refused to discuss it. We were scheduled for mediation on June 28th, but I had work committments that could not be changed. It has been moved to July 28th. We have two very sweet young children that he neglects to call because he's busy with work. I try not to get angry, but when they cry for him I just want to scream at him! Over the past month I've tried to pull back and I have had success but there are days that I backslide. I devote my time to the children, work and I have friends that I socialize with about once a week. As long as I'm busy - all is well. I need advice about how to handle this D thing. I don't want it, but I don't know how to stall it. 7/1/05 - I typed this post and neglected to identify myself. My name is Roxane and I really need some advice.
