Hi all,<BR>Thought I would check in. We got back late Monday evening after flying and traveling for over 24 hours. We had a great trip and saw lots of beautiful things. The girls did well with their soccer tournaments. We were in Italy(at the beach),Munich and Czeckoslovakia(SP?). It was a fun trip and I did feel better being away. <P>The first time I called my mom to check on her and the kids, she told me that H came home from a trip and moved into the bedroom upstairs. He was here for a week with her. My mother said he was cordial one day and the next wouldn't even talk to her. <P>I have not heard from him since I got home. This morning, he called my youngest daughter as we were leaving for soccer camp to tell her he loved her and he wanted to talk to my son also. He told them both that he loved them and had a great time out on the boat last week.<P>This afternoon, I checked my e-mail for the first time since coming home, and he had written. He said he hoped that I had a great time in Europe and that he wanted a thank you note from my daughter for sending her. In his next paragraph, he said that the divorce papers were at the sheriffs office and that I could call there and have them sent to my lawyer so that they wouldn't serve them at the house. He has never discussed this with me....last time he was here, after our boating trip fiasco, he said that we would talk when I got home and then he left. <P>I then found out this afternoon, that she was here all week last week. Jim took the kids swimming at their hotel one day and took them all out on our boat another day. He told Kaitie and Kyle not to tell anyone. Kaitie, my 9 year old came down with shingles that week. <P>Why does he behave like this? The two things I asked him not to do---he blatantly did. Does he have to destroy me? I feel completely empty tonight. I can't contact my lawyer, because he is out of town until the end of the first week in August. Any suggestions on what I should do now? I am devastated.<P>I missed talking with you all. This has been hard,even in Europe. How do you get through this?
