ok, so today was quite productive, I think, maybe I am just blinded by the hope I carry in my heart. He went to his first counceling session today, and I to my second(yes we are doing this seperate at first, due to the differences in our problems right now)since our sessions overlapped, he picked the kids up part way into my session, and I noticed that he was wearing a ring. It was on his right hand, and I made a comment, I was hurt. He keeps trying to tell me that him and her arent "like that". That she wants more than he is willing to give her. I had done some snooping on his laptop and found quite an interesting letter from her, in which she claims that she should "rate right up there with our children, she shouldnt be a close second, and I sure as hell shouldnt come before her, even in my condition" ( me being pregnant, and with all my complications) Anyways, he denied ever seeing the letter, so I gave him a copy of it, and he and her had a little "chat", he supposedly told her that she will never rate right there with our kids, and she will never come close to being number one in his life. She of course was mad, but refuses to back him into a corner, for fear of losing him. He told me that he was sorry for all that he has caused me, and told me that he loved me, which was a first in about 2 months. I felt better, but he ended the night going back to her place, promising me that he was sleeping on the couch. He is "afraid" of coming back into the house, and leaving again, because things get to hard. So my questions...is this normal, and am I doing the right things? I also went and saw a lawyer, found out he will be paying over $1,000/month, and told him. I wanted to know from him, what he thought, and if he still wanted me to pursue the parenting plan, and child support, we just talked, no answers on that...yet. Any thoughts?
