Orchid,

Been told that you are the one to help me plan. Have read HNHN, LB, and SAA. Reading Tough Love now. Conflicted over styles and WW behaivor towards them. Fear WW filed papers today, need advice on delay and preparation for possible custody battle.

familyman - I think Orchid is here now.

I think you meant that you are reading: "Love Must Be Tough": New Home for Families in Crisis, By Dr. James Dobson.

Hi 1fm,

Sorry for the delay. Been signed on and taking care of a broken water heater at the same time. YUCK!

Looks like we need to get you over your fears so you can move forward. Otherwise the WS uses that fear to paralyze the BS into enabling the A. You don't want that do you?

Dr. Dobson's book helped me a lot. I learned the art of 'fog babble' and used that technique back on the WS and OP. It helped me give them their threats back, put a kink in their plans to outsmart me and save my santity. Not bad for a simple technique. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

So if you want to start, list your fears and why you fear them. Then take a look at it and see which ones you feel you can overcome. Give us a look see and I am sure your support here will give it a different spin to lessen the impact.

Gotta go.

Orchid,

Sorry didn't see your reply till just now. Getting ready to go with WW to our see our MC, probably our last visit. MC says she will ask WW to break contact OM.

I'll post when I get back. Not sure you are familiar with my situation or not. Let me know if I should do a recap.

Hi,

I think I recall your story but a recap w/b fine. Hope your session went well.

L.
