well I finally got the "infamous" settlement offer that was supposed to come 2 months ago.
I guess now he has all his ducks in a row..
I haven't seen the full offer(lawyer says it is a LARGE package)..but she gave me some of the highlights...he is conceding to custody and some of the finer points ..and he is "offering" almost my full mortgage payment for child support (nice since he increased the mortgage right before he left!)...so it all sounds..not great..but pretty good..
so why am I so upset?? I read it ..then called him to clarify some points(?!)why ? I haven't even seen the full offer yet...he got hostile with me (usual) and then I hung up
and then I burst into tears...
I am feeling tired and worn out...working 12 hr and then soccer with the kids (I know boo-hoo for me)..and he cant even bother to show up...called him & he is at a "get together" with girlfriend...
It has been 1-1/2 yrs since he left & I just cant seem to get that this is my life now...
I have to go chase the kids to bed now..
thanks for listening

With a schedule like that, you have every right to complain!
I think your reaction was normal. Something like receiving the final settlement papers is a big milestone. It's another indication that things are finally coming to a close. It can be sad, but relieving, too.
Hi Annette... Girlfriend, don't even waste your emotions on calling him.

I think that is it..that things are coming to a close...I'm just used to the way things are now...him paying & not being here ;o
Just another change....I'm more than sure I am better off...just another change
you are soo right! ..I think I just get stuck with the doing whatever he says..I am going over it carefully & if I dont feel right...I'm going to talk to my lawyer or change it
thanks
