Lol ask away...the executive summary is two years in and I can expect to be in court for a good long time to come. If she saw reason, it could be settled and moved on with at our next hearing which is in about six months...but I've had one lawyer tell me that he thinks she's got the "20 year stare".

Paying lawyers is SO much better parenting than the money going to oh, say, the kids - right?

When times are tough i read this poem. Its by Charles Bukowski and Its called the Laughing heart. It always puts life into perspective for me when i feel overwhelmed. Mayb it can do the same for you?

your life is your life
don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
be on the watch. there are ways out.
there is a light somewhere.
it may not be much light but
it beats the darkness.be on the watch.
the gods will offer you chances.
know them. take them.
you can’t beat death but
you can beat death in life, sometimes.
and the more often you learn to do it,
the more light there will be.
your life is your life.
know it while you have it.
you are marvelous
the gods wait to delight in you.

Hopefully it rings as true for you as it does for me. Stay strong!
