It was totally freaking me out b/c they were in her playroom - i couldnt hear a thing! I did hear one little snippet b/c the phone rang & i had to go near there (it was like cheating in school, afraid you will get caught! lol)

Wow... it seems like he called the GAL at the perfect time... while he was upset... and his true colors were shining.


I'm sure, too, that Averey was doing her very best to be as honest as she could be.

Glad to hear your daughter's visit with the GAL went well. And although him acting that way is very frustrating for you, it is good that the GAL got to see a little of the side of him he's been trying to hide from her.
If he continues to bring the lawyers into things unnecessarily (like calling his lawyer when the GAL says it's not necessary), can you go after him for legal costs? Or would it cost you more in legal fees than you'd recover?

That is SUCH a good point. To some exent, it would likley cost me more in legal fees. I am really b/w a rock & a hard place.I have one of the most expensive lawyers, & he has a buddy of his - who IS a top atty for divorce. So i HAD to be sure i got someone as tough, & i did. But man, it is COSTING me so much. We havent even hit our 3 month filing date (its next week) & i have spent more that 6K.

Hey Karen, thanks. Yes, i can see he is leaning the other way, towards contiued anger & insanity. I am SO glad the GAL got to see a bit of that. I *wish* she could witness him enraged, he is SO scary when he is. The fact that he is STILL bringing in his atty on this HAS to show her how uncooperative he can be. He did call yesterday & say "What days can i take her?" & i said "My days off, either tonite or Thurs, for 3 hours". He said he would "look at his schedule & call me". I PRAY he blows it off. That would be PERFECT. It would show he fights & fights, but then doesnt follow thru on anything. & to be truthful, I am not changing MY scedule around his moods or schedule. Averey & I were invited somewhere for Thurs eve, & if he doesnt call by tonite to make plans with her, I am making the alternate plans. I will not sit around & wait for his sanity to breifly rear its head. I will offer her can see her for a couple of hours Sat, b4 i go to work, as a last possibility. Its his OWN fault if he cant "fit it in". Had he not been so rude on the phone, or worse than rude, yesterday, he likley could have already seen her.


Ah, JERK!

Yes, I heard it years ago and thought it was great advice, but never applied it in my own life. I have it in there to remind myself about new people I meet. I've already had to apply it to an acquaintance, and saved myself a lot of grief by doing it (caught this acquaintance lying about something stupid, and saved myself from looking like an idiot by not believing other things she told me).
