Can this week get any worse? Don't answer that because I know it can.
1.I thought me and WH had come to an agreement regarding the kids and the divorce. Was I ever wrong. Took his word that we everything was settled. Should have known. History has shown me once a liar always a liar. He states "That was my past. Move on from that. Take me for my word now."
Got papers stating he wants the kids ALL and I stress that word ALL summer, because he lives in another state. The courts in the good state of FL have that as one of their defaults for 9 weeks, so now he figures he wants that.
Never mind about our agreement. Never mind that the kids have stuff they want to do. Never mind that the kids and I planned our first vacation next year (which was going to be their main Christmas present).
I am not stating to him do not see the kids. Their plans and my plans with them, were around his time with them. He states take them during school. Hello, I am not going to take them out of school for a week or two for vacation. Then I would hear what a bad mother I am for doing that. I won't settle because the oldest is 15. There is only two summers left while he is at home. Lawyer stated we proably would go to court fall of next year. Don't ask why so long. Don't know. Didn't ask.
2. Sopose to close on a house on Monday. Found out today that the school listed for this house is not the school at all.
Son will not move out of one school into another. He has told me recently "you took me out of one home and now you want to take me out of another". This is in regards to wanting to attend another church for a couple of weeks. The church we are attending now is all coupled out. Not that I want to be in a couple at this point in time. I just want to have something in common with someone else. I feel like odd man out. And I am. New church. No one says hi unless they walk by, so it is hard to make friends there.
Anyways off subject. Living with family and after 2-3 months that gets very old very fast. It was the right decision to move. Kids are thriving at their schools. Able to be involved because other family members can help met their needs. (WH is always traveling so I wasn't going to stay in a spot with no one. Just lived in FL less than a year when beautiful spouse stated a divorce was wanted).
3. Have a new job. Like it, not love it.
4.Feeling alone. Have friends but they have lives of their own. Which is what it should be. My live is so pathetic now. It doesn't help that I am so hormonal at this time. Sorry guys that could be too much info for you. But you ladies know that just tops off a situation at times.
Oh well, if you finished reading this thanks. I feel better now just getting it out. By doing this and I just talked on the phone with someone going through the same stuff. I have a line from a song that always pops in my head so sing it with me. "What would this day be like. I wonder. What will My Future Be." (Sound of Music. "I Have Confidence") Right now my future and my past appear to be biting.

lost rainbow,
First off, Men have hormones too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" />
Second, I can relate to what you are saying about thinking an agreement was reached.
I feel like I need to go through all the same stuff everytime STBX and I talk about something in regards to scheduling things with the kids.
My kids seem to be much younger than yours but it's still the same thing. A much smaller scale than what you're saying but the same story.
A few weeks ago wee changed schedules because of something she had going on. It wasn't a big deal for me because we made arangements to make up for it. Well a few days ago, not only would she not rearange things for my needs, but the arangements for her needs didn't even exist. It was as if I made it all up and she didn't know about it.
ANYWAY!
It was no problem getting to the end of your vent <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
That was nothing! is that all you need to let out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
Just kidding. I guess it felt longer than it turned out to be.
