Oh my gosh, wasn't that something the actor did? Can't think of his name but he was Kung Foo.....

It was David Carradine who ended up strangling himself with some weird kinky play with rope or string. Goodbye "grasshopper". Maybe that was his pet name for DOS... rotflmao

Exactly what I was thinking.

There are people who pay money for that sort of thing. LOL at the "I thought it was his thumb" comment. If thats all the enthusiasm he could muster for her.... laugh

Who are these people and how can I contact them? lol

Yep... I can sell the money shots for -- er -- MONEY. I can see the headlines now... Desperate Mom Sells Photos of STBX H and OW to Buy a Turkey for Christmas Dinner.

Of course the money shots may come in handy down the line. After the D is final, I was thinking of sending out a "Thank You for your support" email FROM D!ck and Bimbo to their friends, HER family and their associates.

I mean... really... are these two playing with a full deck when they know good and well that I can access this email account? If they're messing with me, then they're stupid because I just keep gathering info. and ammo for when the time is right.

Patience is MY virtue.

Indeed it is.

Anything noteworthy happened besides seeing the Thumb?

Thanks for checking on me, Queenie. I got up early today and braved the crowds at the mall. Unfortunately, I can't keep throughts of WH and OW out of my head today especially when I see couples shopping together -- old and young.

After I felt the first tears, I decided it was time to head home -- but not before stopping for a visit to the tanning salon to do something for me and to relax.

I went out with SIL last night. She shared with me that my youngest D mentioned that Christmas just wouldn't be the same this year. This is the first time in 30 years that D!ck and I won't be together for Christmas... but for the kids... it will the first time IN THEIR ENTIRE LIVES that they will not be with their Dad for Christmas.

D!ck made no attempt to see the kids at Easter, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, or birthdays. Why would Christmas be any different... especially since he'll likely be upset when we go to court on Monday. He's hell-bent on punishing us all for not going along with his new life.

But we will be fine... as a family... we will do everything like we normally do... and everyone will be there like they normally will be... everyone except D!ck. He's the one missing out.

He'll get run over, alright.

Have you kept track of the debt that he has run up, anyway? Any nice round figures you have?

Nice round figures -- yes -- around $275K. And he's hiding credit card statements because they prove he was incurring debt on nonmarital purposes -- like Bimbo's business.

Reality is that for two years now, D!ck has tried supporting two families. And -- fortunately for me -- MY FAMILY is protected under the law. He has to support us. And he chose to support her and her kids.

So it was his choice to get in debt.

But his logic is that he makes the money and he decides how it gets spent. And he wants to now support her and not me.

That's why people need to get out of a relationship completely -- physically, emotionally, FINANCIALLY -- before they get in another relationship. D!ck didn't do this, obviously.

I hope the judge lets him have it because, so far, he has felt little consequenses. When someone in authority tells him (I pray) that he HAS to support me and the kids, then maybe he'll "get it."

And since he's the one who pursued the D, then this is a result of his actions. I'd love to say -- when it's all said and done -- that it would have been cheaper to just stay married and worked on our relationship instead of jumping ship.

Because by jumping ship, he's drowning.

And for Monday, I'll make sure I have a few incrimidating items with me... just in case the judge asks.

HH,

Good luck tomorrow. It will be a very stressful day, but I know that you are well prepared for this. I sometimes wish aht I had fought a little more than I did. I think I convinced myself that "taking the high road" would increase chances for recovery but I was obviously wrong on that.

Fight hard tomorrow for you and your children. Keep us posted....


BS - me 56
XWH - 57

12/25/06 - Dday - WH promised NC. Plan A in effect. Thought we were in recovery.

6-3-07 - Dday#2 Found out NC never took place and A never ended. Found MB NC promised again, but WH would not write NC letter.

9/07 - Dday #3. Still lying and sneaking around. Plan B implemented
WH wants nothing to do with me

Hi HH-

I also want to echo Chai's encouragement. I have no doubt that you will continue to fight for your children. I will be praying for you.

I also wanted to say (slight t/j) to Chai that I don't think anyone could have fought even "a little more" than you did. You fought the good fight. Another chapter of life awaits....
