Thanks for the kind words. I have filed a counter claim for spousal support and we go for a pre-trial hearing on Wednesday. I have tried to make him understand that I am not doing this to hurt him. I have to do what is in the best interest of my sons and myself. When H left, he paid support but did nothing to help with house payments or repair on our 14 year home.
I have examined my motives over and over again. I know that I am not doing this out of anger, so I have to take my chances in court.
How are things going for you? Has XW came home yet?
Everything happens for a reason, maybe Dad needs to find that it isn't better out there, he needs to realize how good he had it here. Maybe he will find God and that is the most important thing when he finds Him he will know he is supposed to come home.
