No peace...

As I've said countless times, they always add something. She is insatiable.

Ten minutes before my son gets off the bus the lawyers call, my lawyer and the senior partner. Calling to tell me it's over? No, to tell me there have been more changes.

I protest, "you are interfering with time with my son". They push forward, they must discuss this now. I have made no changes, to my detriment, in two weeks. Why today?

I asked, "Have you forgotten where this discussion is to take place? At the newspaper's Metro Desk", the senior partner retorts, "I have more interesting cases, they aren't interested."

Well, I didn't challenge him on that one, but with the amount of documented abuses, including quite candid and unflattering recordings, I'd wager that they could spare some inches. I may just make an anonymous query to find that out.

What now? Some more money and some more stuff, and the new one, take the bed out from under me. Now she took the entire contents of two of the three bedrooms. Would she like to take the clothes off my back and see what she can get for them as a charity write off?

I have a major industry meeting tomorrow. That's when they wanted to cover all this bullshit.

I was assured everybody wasn't going to get what they want. That's why I was supposed to give up 7 grand. Now its much more. I am to be saddled with her tax burden in addition to my own.

So I stated that I am not available tomorrow. So the 10th Trial Date is scheduled in front of a magistrate because the judge will be on vacation, and he never works Fridays.

And the odds of 11th? Better than 50/50?

I will be plagued with her harrassment until death do us part. In today's screwed up society, Marriage is temporary, and Divorce is forever. (jqism)
