Sorry to hear you've been so busy - I've been hoping you'd get a chance to read some of my posts and give me your insight.
I've read DR twice and am almost finished with DB. One thing that is not covered in depth is meddling in-laws. Not just those that try to give advice - but those that purposely plan and plot to destroy a marriage. How do you deal with the lies and manipulation from people such as these?
Also, how to deal with a WAH who makes no effort to contact his child unless asked to call? It is our son that is suffering, he sticks to his "children are resilient" belief. I'm not sure how to approach him. He claims he is afraid any contact, letters, etc. I will "use against him". His family have put it in his head that I am this crazy person out to screw him over and he needs to "protect" himself. I have tried to demonstrate (I know talking does no good) by my actions that this is not so. He obtained a lawyer and filed for divorce with some nasty, unreasonable demands. I filed response myself, no lawyer. I have told him I do not want a divorce. He was quick to take the money leaving me with all the bills. I have been paying them and not going after him or requesting monetary help. I don't know what else to do. What other actions should I try? I have not seen him in 2 months and he makes no contact at all.
The whole story is too long to try to reiterate here, but hopefully some time you will find time. Everything is posted in the newcomer's section under New dilemma....
I have one other question. Any plans for a seminar in Phoenix in the future?
