Honey, I am stunned. But not surprised...seems so sad that each week we come on the boards to hear one more freakish, outlandish, horrifying, ridiculous thing that these MLCers do. Each of us have an MLC H that has a "hallmark" moment of MLC, and yours is the serving of D papers at the mall. UGH.
I cannot believe it. As if anything you have done EVER would necessitate this type of behavior, as if you threatened him for anything that he has to stoop so low.
No. So it is clearly a sickness. It's amazing what they have up in their heads. The fighting for no reason. The creation of drama and conflict.
OK, time to get smart, sweets. Go to the L. Make it CLEAR that you will not back down to things, and state your intentions, and go for what you want/entitled to. Listen to Snodderly and all here, DO NOT BACK DOWN. This is business now. Take some time this weekend to make a pact to yourself, that you will lay emotions aside, sad and sweet memories aside when you have to go through this, b/c it for the sake of yoru KIDS now. And you. You are dealing with a lunatic and cannot let it go bc you have some memories of the man he was. That man can come back and will understand your need to protect yourself.
Get strong, we will be here to hold you. No more being shocked. No more disappointment. Wake up each day and tell yourself "what is the worst he can do..." and expect that. Be prepared for it. Be ready and stand against it.
