I received mail from the L saying that W & I have to see a 3rd L. It'll cost each of us $75. The 3rd L is powerless, but will try to workout an agreement b/w W&I. I will be there, pleasant as pie and politely stating my boundaries.
We both have to attend a 4 hr seminar on how to be a divorced parent, another $60.
Two other interesting developments:
1) On the March check, W wrote "March support for DD's". I plan on filing taxes married but separately, because that best represents our sitch. Because I live in our home and have been paying the mortgage our of my checking acct, I'm claiming all the mortgage interest. (W had made noise about her 1/2 of the mortgage interest, the Mar support check notes support not 1/2 mortgage pmt.) In the custody suit, W's L wrote that DD's live with me, so I am claiming the DD's. I'm anticipating that W will say that I'm trying to screw her. If she does, I'm sorry that feels that way. This best represents our situation.
2) You may have read on a prior thread that I talk w/OM's mom on occasion. I got an email from her saying that she wants to meet w/me. We've met a few times already and are both sensitive of the other's feelings and boundaries. I wonder what the news is and why she just didn't put it in the email?
I resumed IC yesterday. I was uncomfortable with my anger and how I was handling it. No great revelations from C, but confirmation about some thoughts and plans that I had.
I'm off to take the dogs for a long walk. The temp is > 40 and even they are suffering from cabin fever!
I'm sorry to hear that H is acting like an @$$ regarding money. Take care.
