Im in a size 38 jean today!!! Yay!! First time ive worn that size in years!  There is something good to be had from being sick to your stomach with sadness and anxiety!  Thanks stbx! Well last night we met to go over the divorce agreement again. I was prepared for her to rake me over the coals now that she has a lawyer.  It was mostly a bluff.  Nothing changed except now instead of her taking on all the debts, we are going to file bankruptcy, and im gonna lose my every other thursday with the kids.  That sucks but her lawyer wanted me to only have 1 day every other week!! My God!  You would think I had been a bad father or something? Was I not a loving, caring man to all of them for 10 years?   Fricking lawyer told her she could bring up my depression, and my drinking, and make me look like a real loser.   She didnt seem willing to do it.  Thank God. I did lose the 2 thursdays a month, but in return she agreed to put a stipulation in the divorce that I get the kids for the full week when she travels for work.  Since that is going to be 3 - 5 weeks a year or more, I am coming pretty even with her in total days.     We didnt even talk about her boyfriend. It gets me to angry and last night was a time for making peace; for the good of the kids.  She told me to trust her, that she isnt getting "too involved" with anyone right now.   I dont believe her but I dont care either. Its her life, I just hope she dont screw up too bad and end up hurting the kids even more. Im taking the kids up north this weekend, going ice fishing.  Should be fun on saturday! Sunday its gonna be too cold for anything but thats ok, we will just come back early.

Congrats on the size 38 jean! That is great even though it was because of sadness and anxiety. I am the total opposite when I am sad and that is something I am trying to change.

Lawyers suck! LOL. They are nice when they are fighting for you, but gosh they can go for the juggular when they are against ya. I am glad that she is not willing to go for that juggular. Hope it stays that way. I don\'t believe that \"too involved\" bit either. Whatever...and she expects you to trust her??? Is she that naive?? Trust is gone, i bet huh?

Have fun ice fishing!! That sounds fun. It will be good for you and the kids to get out there and have some fun. Be safe and have fun!!!

I see that you have gotten where you need them to be in your life. It takes time, effort and determination to get there. Way to go man! Handle your business to the end.

This weekend is going to be great for you. Spending time with the children will bring sunshine to your life. Ice fishing. My ex use to ice fish. I use to fish also but not ice fishing. I love it and it. I remember when I caught my first fish. I was jumping like the fish. LOL. Have fun my friend and take care!!
