Today feeling scared and nervous about my up coming talk with my addicted wife.
If you weren't scared and nervous, it would mean that you didn't care. But you do.
I'm so glad that you found the podcast helpful.
My one bit of practical advice as a witness to my sister's divorce - don't get a mediator in the attempt to save some money on legal fees. I know that you've already consulted a lawyer and I would strongly advise that you stay that course. My brother-in-law (I still consider him so) went the mediator route and I personally think it bit him in the ...
If you can, make sure you define consequences when you write up the divorce agreement. My sister ended up mooching off my brother-in-law for years because she didn't put the house up for sale by the agreed date. I told him he should have been charging her half the mortgage for each month she continued to stay there. But he let his guilt take over logic. A good lawyer will help you avoid that trap.
I wish you grace and strength in the days ahead.
