That's an AWESOME visual!
I think that is what has relieved me MOST about this. I could give two hoots about the money... But realizing that my worst fear (holding him accountable will result in him fighting me to take the girls and hurt them in the process) wasn't realized, makes me a lot more inclined to quasi-comfortably hold him accountable without too much fear, going forward.
In the past, when he's had lots of money he had his bulldog horror show snake of a lawyer make my life hell, legally. But I think he can't (thank god) afford him anymore.
So when it's just he and I going head to head, I am far less afraid than I have ever been.
