I have coordinated gifts with her a little bit. Probably shouldn't have done that.

Our plan for christmas is that she will get DD for christmas eve and morning and I'll come get DD at about 9 am and we'll go spend the rest of the day (and maybe week) away with family.

WW offered that I could come and open presents with them, but I refused.

It worked last time; stick with it. A couple of ideas:
1. Telephone Y's where he might have gotten a job, and ask for him by name
2. Hire a P.I. to follow him for a day to find out where he goes to work
3. What would a tracking device cost, to attach to his car?

My girlfriend who is getting divorced hired a P.I. who put a tracking device on her STBX's car for a couple of days. Cost her, but she got valuable info.

WW was angry a few days ago because our insurance didn't cover something when she went to the pharmacy. She was saying "did you take me off of the insurance!?"

I replied that I hadn't and that I couldn't even if I wanted to, at this point.

Well, today I followed up to see what the problem with the insurance was... What she couldn't fill was her prescription birth control! She wants me to help her with that?!?

Sorry, but she can fix that one herself!

Hi People. Happy holidays to you all and thanks for all of the support.
I haven't been checking in here as much, as visiting this site just sort of makes me depressed.

Spending christmas eve alone was hard. WW wanted me to show up at her Apartment on christmas morning to open presents with her and DD. I thought that was a strange idea. I got to spend most of christmas day w DD and my family though, so it ended up pretty well.

Yesterday was our divorce pretrial. At this point, I mostly just want to get this over with. Unfortunatley, the pretrial did not resolve many problems. Next we'll need to get the court appointed "Guardian Ad Litem" to come and help determine custody stuff between WW and I.

This is all very draining and depressing. Not to mention financially taxing...

I'm still around. SOrry for the lack of posting.

Coming here just makes me depressed. GENERALLY I'm not that depressed right now.

Not much has changed. WW is still with YGuy

The Court appointed guardian is wroking on making a judgment about our custody thing.

I just had to put my house on the market

Ive been trying to concentrate on other things. Work, hobbies, going out w friends, etc.
