The phone call is to determine what our next steps are which I have no doubt will be to confirm divorce but I have a horrible gut feeling he's going to try to make the whole experience

My advice is the minute he starts yelling at you or accusing you or not being nice to you in the phone call--hang up. You don't have to take verbal abuse.

first and formost-your sanity and dignity come first. Get a lawyer if you can afford it, don't deal with him directly anymore if you are getting a divorce. Stand your ground on things that are important, like kids, but on other things, remember...you are leaving him to be happy, you will have a full life without him and feel good about yourself for it. Don't get bogged down in power plays and manipulations-they'll sap your energy and hold you back from moving forward. Abusive people want other to be misreable, the worse you feel, the

Well, it was two hours which completely physically and emotionally exhausted me by the end.
