I am so sorry for all you are dealing with right now, and believe me, I understand that feeling of just wanting to make it through the workday so you can go home and sleep. I’ve been there many a time. I’m actually hoping the open house didn’t go well, for your sake. What would happen if the house didn’t sell? Try not to think about needing to call a lawyer today. Just give yourself some time here; don’t rush anything. I wish I knew how to advise you right now, but I don’t. I hope someone else comes on and posts more about this. I have seen lawyers for free consultations but that is all so far. One of the things I did last week was to buy an inexpensive but pretty and resourceful organizer so that I could keep track of any appointments, phone numbers, contacts, etc. in regards to my own situation (especially if mediation comes into it). Do you have something like this? I would get something just to take with you and help you have a place to jot down what you need, keep track of stuff. Mine is helpful. Imdi, you are going to be ok. Please know that. I know right now it doesn’t feel that way AT ALL but you will be ok. Believe in yourself; you have done everything you can and you are so strong. I will check back with you. Hugs.
Most of us really marry only once. First love endures, even unto our dying day. And we never really divorce.
