breathe, honey, breathe

Long deep inhale
Slow exhale

There was a lot of awfulizing at the end of your post. I'm exhausted for you.

You don't want to stay in your front row seat to his drama, but you don't want to take steps to give up your seat. Why?

I'm going to be honest with you about his paycheck. The more you want it, the harder it will be for you to get it. He finally got paid and you've already asked for his check. He's in control.

The only way you will find out how much he is making may be when your attorney asks for his earnings statement.

I have children to support, I wasn't willing to take anymore chances with what money and credit I had left. I was tired of watching my money(working 2 jobs) go towards his debts and drinking. I cut off all access to my accounts, made sure the bank wouldn't give out any information with out seeing my id, put important papers and valuables into a safe deposit box, and called a lawyer. I'd rather prepare for the worst and pray for the best (thanks Give Love)
