I could call them and tell them that we are separated and to send his mail to his mother's home (although he doesn't live w/ her, she could pass the info along)




Hi Laura,
I think this is a great idea! Maybe even leave him one more message just letting him know that you will go ahead and have it forwarded to his mothers for him. Make it seem like you have accepted these new terms he has layed out. If he gets angry with you for not calling him sooner or something (you never know what they might pull out of their a%& to be angry with you for), it's his own demons he's dealing with, not yours. There was a time when my H started counseling and he bombarded me with questions, accusations and any reason he could find under the sun to be angry with me...everything was my fault. It was just a phase though. I allowed him to be angry with me and I didn't take it personally. Don't get me wrong, it hurt, but I found early on that defending myself in anyway just made it worse. When I just let him be angry, most times he ended up apologizing to me for being a jerk...go figure.
