No, we don't always get what we want. Some believe, including me that we get what we need.
And aren't we all glad we don't get what we deserve?

I don't know Mark. Some days I feel like I got a heck of a lot more than I deserved.

That's because the story hasn't ended and you don't know the ending. You have come this far... keep going Chai.. you can do this. You ARE doing it.

Queenine,

I'm getting there by your example and coaching. You and the others here keep me on the right path. I know that we are both too far along to screw it up now.

My atty obtained a copy of the loan app from the bank. You remember, the one that WH said he didn't know about, the one where he said that I forged his name. Well turns out that there was a note on the app that WH verbally consented a few days before the docs were turned in. Waywards lie until they very end. Unbelievable.

Anyway, I don't have any new charges yet this week. I guess he's run out of things to charge me with at this point. Looks like the D may go through next month

Other than a temporary meltdown on Sunday (thanks to Queenie for talking me through), I'm OK.

Wow, my Chai feelers were just moving. Chai, remember I told you we were in this TOGETHER and I am ALWAYS here to talk to you. 24/7 it's not like I would be interrupting anything going on in my room. frown

I got the picture of you. You are so beautiful. I imagined your hair much different.

PS, you are allowed meltdown. We are Goddesses, not Warriors

"Waywards lie until they very end. Unbelievable."

LOL, Chai. I was just reading on another site the story of a cheating man who was out with the OW when they got hit by a train. (Don't ask me how that happened..........)

Anyway, wife was notified and as they were life-flighting hubby out (he was in grave condition), he asked his wife how the OW was doing. Then he continued to deny the affair - they were just friends, blah, blah, blah. Didn't talk about his wife, his kids, nothing but the OW.

Hard to believe..............

That was not the greatest picture of me. I could have used more makeup that morning. At least concealer to camo my big nose. How did you imagine my hair?

I believe that would be the Karma Train.

The funny thing is, they really think that people believe them. What a hoot.

Hi CL,

Sorry about your WS.

I won't say anything that you haven't already heard...the less you know about WS (ie his exchanges with DD) the better, and when you catch yourself thinking about the past or the future (which you can't do much about)....use your energy to focus only on putting one foot in front of the other...today.... and most of all... thinking of all sorts of ways (big and small) on how to take care of CL.

...because, as you keep saying: this too shall pass....

hugCL hug

Chai, you should write a book. You'd make a ton of money. Oh, but then WH would think he was entitled to part of it because he's one of the main characters (the bad guy). I know! You could put any earnings in a trust for GBChai with you as executor. He couldn't touch it then!

((((Chai)))) You are one strong lady.

You more than any other BS I've seen so far (besides Pariah, who will always be #1 on that list) deserve to do a Plan FU once the divorce is done...

...be very careful to act like a good parent/grandparent. He may try to make you pay by using Chaibaby as a pawn in his game.

After what he's done so far I have no doubt he'll smear you as a terrible woman who endangers Chaibaby eventually--when he runs out of other things to charge you with.

You should prepare for such a thing to happen. I hate to present such an idea from almost nowhere, but with your WHs track record...

Luna,

You know better than anyone (maybe other than SDGuy) that any info on WS is deadly. As they say, infidelity is the gift that just keeps on giving. Looks like neither you nor I can just get this done. For two WS's that are so sure they want to be with their APs, it strikes me as odd how they sure seem to be holding up our D's. You would think both of our WHs would want to get this done.

PM, funny but everyone keeps telling me to write a book. If I were a better writer, I would seriously consider it. I sure could use the money to pay off atty fees.

Karma, I would not be surprised at this point by anything that he does. I've thought of all those things too. Honestly, I thought he had hit the end of the road, but noooo. Today I get a letter that they now have subpoenaed my retirement fund info for the past x years to prove that I withdrew money to hide I guess. It will be another dead end for him because I have only ever taken one withdraw (for my business) and my atty has already presented that with proof of what I spent it on. He is just not going to give up.

Well, you all can help me think of a name for my book. The best that I can do right now is Waywards $uck.

I'm an aspiring writer, I'll ghost-write for you.

I have the perfect title, too.

"How Low Can He Go?"
