Day of Event: March 25, 2024
Day one of drama- first recording of what I'm dealing with in this process; it's not day one of the process but it's the first day that I'm angry, hurt, and just generally emotional enough to create a record of it.
It's the day before our first court appearance which is to determine Temporary Orders- judge approved legal orders that set the tone and expectation for how things shall be in the interim between now and the divorce being finalized- who gets to stay in the home, who is paying what bills, where the kids will be,,, all sorts of major life changing things. As if that's not scary enough- being literally judged by a stranger who has the power to change your life forever, I ad just received some distressing news from my lawyer; I was a wreck.
Not only that, but my future ex-husband and I lived in the same house with our two almost grown children and he was obviously manipulating the kids- suddenly became "father of the year" in his demeanor towards them- complimentary instead of yelling, cussing, name calling, and generally speaking down to them, started going on long walks with them and "just talking" though judges' standing orders say that no one is supposed to talk about the case to or in front of our children (yet they were well-informed and not from me!)
He also suddenly became best buds with the women of his family who... let's just say that "complimentary" towards or about them would be on the opposite end of the spectrum of how he actually thought and behaved about and towards them; they began taking long weekends away where my daughter, the youngest child, and sometimes my son were isolated with them and their very strong opinions...
This is the beginning of my journey to singledom and it is dramatic!!
WARNING- MAY BE TRIGGERING!! LISTEN WITH CAUTION!!
