Peach,

I have been talking to Orchid and she has filled me in on a little of what has been going on. It seems that J is just self distructing and at the same time he is trying to make your life as hard as possible. It is good to see how well you have handled the situation.

Linkin Park is awesome!

I don't think I'd have made it sanely through this without them. Sometimes I think their music is written for me personally. Their new album Meteora more so. Be warned everyone else, it's the genre of Rap Metal... so don't rush out and buy them unless you like their music.

LOL.

For your mediation, if you agree... you should grant your attorney power of attorney and not go at all. J will try to inflame you emotionally. Tell your attorney the high and low end of what you'll accept and leave it at that. Don't tell J you won't be there either. Let it be a "pleasant" surprise from you to him.

Meteora is awesome! And I too think they wrote "Hit the floor" about Jethro and my waiting for the right time to take him on.

Renee thanks. He is goin way out there with this new bit. Hope all is well for you.

Lyxa, I too couldn't have made it thru the last year w/o my Linkin Park CD's. While "Hybrid Theory" is good, I love the remixes on "Reanimator". I also think the song "Points of Authority" are about this situation too.

He emails me today and says alot of crap. Says he wants remediation and that "because of the stresses of legal problems in relation to his busdiness (investment company), he ran from the problems and made some wrong choices". He never says he was wrong. He blames the legal powers that be. He never says he was wrong to have ripped apart his family. He is far from a broken hillbilly.

And the outlaws supposedly have stopped leasing their apartment near his office (they are, get this..sales reps working for him) and have when they are in town, living WITH JETHRO. And he confirms that he has TRANSFERRED THE HOME (worth over a half million) to them, it's in their name now. The judge is probably going to order it sold and this is just a ploy by Jethro to keep it so either me or another lawsuit can't get ahold of it. But it is joint marital property and he will have to deal with me legally on that. May end up having to take the outlaws to court.

They are definitely the cajun hillibllies. And I wonder now how Jethro is going to explain his cohabitation part time with Ms. Family Values. This is gonna get good! But hey, adultery runs in the family. Maybe they can move his dad's former Ow in the house too. She can live on the terrace level. All I know is this will certainly spell disaster. However, Jethro is a good liar. It will take a bit of time until this hits the fan. He he he.

I am sure that Ms. Family Values is not going to like the scenario. Only thing to do is make an "honest" woman outta her. But hey, he can't do that yet. And I don't believe he will. But it's not anymore of my business outside of the courtroom anymore.

What makes me sick is Jethro is free and walking around free to wreak havoc on everyone in the world. And free to get my son for visitation tomorrow. But next wednesday will be a different story. He will be a ragin' orange colored cajun after leaving the courtroom next week. Either he coughs up the dinero or he's back to praying for soap on a rope.

I have personally had it with the entire extended family of Jethro and all that is associated with things Jethro, except for my son. And my son btw does NOT LOOK ANYTHING LIKE JETHRO.

The restraining order is in effect and now he's calling my other attorney now. Thinking that guy will listen to his stupidity. My attorneys think it is hilarious that one is the "good cop" while the other gets to be "bad cop" with jethro. He thinks that the male attorney will understand him and that he's more "rational" than my female attorney who is "hysterical'.

Dear God. When will I be free of this sin and this charade? I am almost at the end of my rope. He has placed my son and I in dire financial straits and he's keeping on. Now suddenly when he's caught plundering the money he is "broke" and has made "bad choices" because of the legal stress "placed upon him that isn't fair". Yada yada yada. I am just praying for God to carry us for a while longer. To hold off the creditors a little longer now. To keep us safe a little longer. And above all, I am praying we will have soon a sense of some sort of financial stability so I can focus on our new future, the future of my son and I.

He thinks I can negotiate with him during another mediation. I am more inclined to think that the judge will give a more fair settlement to me. I also think custody will be more reasonable with the judge. It is best my son is with me as primary. I am already primary but with joint legal. I want primary legal and physical. He hasn't shown he is the kind of man who could live up to that. Heck, if he was a woman they would still not let him have joint custody probably. Has nothing to do with his gender, has to do with his stupidity and stunts...Gambling, verbal and physical abuse of me and his non honoring child support. What a guy.

He has done a total 180 since I met the man. He is flying outta control and is so close to smacking the wall. He keeps inching by. Getting by but barely. I want him to crash now. Only way for things to happen positively for son and I is to say that HE HAS TO CRASH AND BURN NOW. Has to happen before he can back off, before he can be somewhat of a decent father to our boy, and so he can learn to control his impulses.

As a child he was dx w/Add. His mother, a former substitute teacher, took him off of ritalin b/c she said "did not like how the medication affected his personality." He was much more subdued and not his usually magnetic self. She didn't like that and quit giving him his meds at age 13. I can't help but feel she has led to his undoing and his lack of adult control by not allowing him to continue into adult hood with his ADD in check. His parents I guess are the ones who first came down with the fog in the first place. And then his dad was having several affairs with women at the chuches they were members of. When I met him, his parents went through a total of three churches and now I know why.

I am going to not know what it feels like to breathe a sigh of relief when this is done. I do not know what peace feels like. Have felt no peace in over two years now. It is unbearable right now. I am not myself. I am still on my med for situational depression and it's doing well with allowing me to clearly evaluate the situation. And let's face it, dealing with Jethro could put anybody in the nut farm. What's hilarious is when I met him, he told me his first wife was Crazy and that's why he divorced her. Imagine that. Jethro making someone crazy.

But the difference between Jethro and I besides the moral thing, the good parent thing, is that I TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ME. Sure this situation is out of control, but I am not. I am going to do wht is best for my son and I.

Please pray for us to hold on a bit longer and t that we are blessed. That God blesses son and I with peace and financial stability so we can begin our new life soon with a clean slate.

It must be hard to start over when you carry so much baggage. I wonder if Jethro can feel anymore. I doubt it.
