Your post brought to mind a truck battery charger I saw today. Ell told me it was called an 'eliminator.' I hope you eliminate ...em..er..the negative and accentuate the positive, mneme. All the best love.

How is it possible that I have missed your blog for so long? Glad I found you. Fighting against administrative stupidity is one of the hardest things to endure, but I get the feeling that you are strong and not easily defeated. The very best of luck and I'll follow from now on.

I think you are a pretty strong woman as eveidenced by the fact that you have stopped taking crap from him and moved away. It takes a lot of strength to stand in one's own feet after having been dependent for a period of time. You are just scared, and I can understand that, I would be too, but you should not be. You are going to be fine. You will find a job and you willl get ahead and some day not too far from now you will look back at these days and feel proud because you believed in yourself. That is what is all about, believing in yourself, and I think you do believe in you already... because if you didn't you would still be at home with him. I don't understand how is it that he got everything . Are you sure you had good legal advice ? most states are no fault and in any divorce all property and assets are divided in half. Please take care of yourself and don't get discouraged... Write me if you need to talk. Be well and stay strong.

Naut honey
there are men, and there are men.. some do the right thing, some don't. I don't let it get to me any more but it is a worry at times. I'm glad you believe I will get there.

Though I am one of those vile creatures, I
do feel for you and your horrible situation! And I wish I could offer more than a few platitudes, but I can't, so I shall spare you...On the other hand, I am quite confident you have the strength to make it...

My opinion of men is at a particularly low ebb this week.
Terms like heartless and oblivious come to mind. I hope you soon get on your feet and that youl get some legal hooks into him at some delicate juncture that will alert him to your rights as a human, whether or not he gets it from a fair play standpoint.

It would be so wonderful if all men were financially fair to their wives at breakup of marriage. But, it seems that greed or revenge often comes into play.
