Pelican

Since alcoholism is unpredictable, I took some precautions with personal stuff. Before we legally seperated, I rented a large safe deposit box. I put copies of our taxes for the past 7 years, and other financial papers I would need if he contested the divorce or how much I was seeking in support.

After we seperated, and I learned he was still drinking; I put jewelry and sentimental things into the safe deposit box. I was not taking any chances with an active alcoholic.

My attorney advised me that I could not keep him from entering the home since it was in his name. However, we were instructed to call the police if he ever showed up un-announced, angry and/or drunk.

He remained civil and kept his distance. We moved out of the home 2 months later without incident.

I hope this passes soon. Peace and hugs to you....

A truer statement has NEVER been spoken.

It's his need for someone to manipulate, control, and rule over.
Aren't you glad it isn't you any more?

Very! He's still trying and it's not working.....he's getting a little testy.

My attorney said today we may have to move to a contested docket. That would stink, but she offered to slap me if I negotiate any lower. If he were thinking rationally he would see that the thousands he will spend in attorney fees would be wasted because he's getting a good deal now and will probably end up paying more if he contests it.....but if he were thinking rationally I might not be divorcing him......*sigh*
