Daer Julirene -
You ARE a smart cookie, and don't ever listen to anyone who tries to tell you otherwise!!

When you originally posted your problem (the one that got eaten in the hacker fix), I was one who suggested that you minimize your writings or anything that could be used as evidence in your battle. It is just amazing how one's words can be twisted against you and made to stick and fit into some court decision that is not your case really at all.

I just hope that you had saved Sheila's post on how to get the State help with an attorney. She had good advice there.

You will be feeling a lot better soon, as this assistance comes through, and your children get used to the idea of a new life with MOM.

Your husband will just have to learn what responsibility for this separation is HIS. When emotions are running high, it is not easy to see the best way out. Let the professionals guide you. You do have a lot of rights now.

Remember that you are a RESPONDER and let the drugs do their work like I think they can. Take comfort from your little ones and may God's blessings fill your new life.
