Stop. Take a deep breath. Just think for a minute about all of the things you have done...all the big, scary steps you have taken to reclaim your life. You have shown great courage and strength. You aren't the same woman you were two years, one year, six month or even one month ago. With each step, you've gained self confidence and determination.
These old feelings of fear are just ghosts from a former life. You have worked really hard to free yourself from his tyranny and bullying. He only has control over you through scare tactics if you let him. DON'T LET HIM! You aren't that woman anymore. She's gone.
If your attorney and you both believe that this proposal is in the best interest of you and your children, then fire away. And then stand your ground. You don't have to deal with him directly. That's what the lawyers are for. Each time you stand your ground, you'll feel stronger and his old power over you will diminish.
Look in the mirror and remind yourself what a beautiful, strong, courageous woman you are. Because you are. And then do what you need to do each day to make your life and your children's life better. You are an unstoppable force!!!
