Please pray for me, my divorce trial is April 30
I'm asking all you out there to say a prayer for me. My divorce trial is tomorrow, and while I am dreading it, I am anxious to close the door on this part of my life.
My soon to be X AH is asking for lots of $$$, plus trying to force me to sell my beloved horses and dogs. He's hurting, and wants to hurt back — as he sees HIS predicament as MY fault.
I know better. I didn't cause him to drink, lose jobs, lose his family, lose his home. He did it all by himself with the help of MS. VODKA.
I believe in the power of prayer and good karma. I am counting on God to make straight my troubled path.

Good luck! Prayers to you.
You must be pretty powerful to control the fate of his life. My question to your ex would be if you are that powerful, how did you not have the power to stop his drinking and destructive behavior?
I'll be thinking of you!

I'm sending powerful, healing thoughts your way & want to congratulate you on having the strength to pull yourself out of an unhealthy relationship. Just keep your eyes on the peace and well-being you'll have soon. Good luck tomorrow.

Thousands of good vibes will be coming your way tomorrow from all of us here at SR - imagine yourself bathed in golden, wonderful light - you will come through on the other side...maybe hurting but on your way to tranforming your life into something wonderful. As my very first Al-Anon sponsor used to say "Pain is inevitable but misery is an option". You are taking a step away from misery and towards positivity and healing. I will be thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers tomorrow. I've been there - you'll be all right.

You're in my prayers, as well.
You didn't mention attorneys.
I hope yours is better than his.
I hope you have a conservative judge...
My experience has shown me that conservative judges are a Lot less likely to tolerate someone trying to blame their behavior on another person....making your ex dead in the water, so to speak.
I hope it is Not a jury trial.
One only has to read the Stella Awards to realize juries do things that make no sense.
IMO you already have the upper hand....Stay Positive !

A special bouquet of prayers to you for this trial. As you won't be the first couple with alcoholism involved I guess (and hope) that the judge has been there and heard it before so he recognizes QUACKING when he hears it.
Look on it as applying for your passport to freedom.
God bless

Thank you all.
I'm going forward today—knowing that I have done the right thing always. I've taken this marriage to the ends of the earth in effort. When one does right, things turn out right. I have confidence that the judge will see that, and base his decisions accordingly.
I can't imagine the stress of being the other person in this situation.
It must be very difficult to look in the mirror.

I'm thinking of you and praying for you today. I was scared to death when I had to appear before a judge for my divorce and it was not a trial. Let us know how you are, OK?
I also have horses and dogs and they bring me much joy and peace.

oh my friend - I am looking at a similiar situation - my ex is requesting spousal support, 1/2 of the stuff I left with (even tho we divided the possession before I left) 1/2 my retirement, blah, blah, blah.
I pray that the Judge will have a clarity about the situation and see that we have given enough during those years of marriage to not have to continue to lose more during our lives of freedom.
HUGS to you,
Rita
