I haven't been able to update on my situation until now. Ex had not been officially served with divorce papers, and he was already notoriously difficult to find to serve.
I retained a lawyer in early April, and have filed for divorce. Ex was finally served today.
Other than that, I'm doing well. Life is hectic, but getting back on track. I'm back in school, and working my butt off. My house is coming along nicely, and things are looking up.
Hope you are all well.

I responded on EN, but here I can elaborate. I’m so glad you’re getting all settled in and can find some peace. I know it’s been a long journey for you. Give me a shout or email if you get a chance. greengablesmb@yahoo.comI hope your DV goes smoothly, though it doesn't look like it will if you can't even find him.

Good Luck Takola. You did what you could and know the MB principles. These will improve your life, if not immediately, in the future.
It was a marriage that never really started.

Newly,
The sad truth is that my life improved the day he moved out. There has honestly not been a single time since then that I've wanted him back in the house. I have walls in my family room, most of a ceiling now, and my house is in order and presentable to other people. I'm very much at peace with how this worked out...and I wouldn't now pick any other resolution.
Hope you are doing well.
