I haven't made a journal entry in forever. I just don't seem to have the desire anymore. I almost got a divorce summons today. I say almost because they tried to deliver it certified mail, but I wasn't home. Maybe tomorrow.
My attorney took me to meet with an attorney who specializes in family law. She read my wife's proposal and laughed. She seemed quite optimistic that that I wouldn't have to get screwed out of everything. I was very impressed with her and am seeking to retain her. Whatever she charges will be worth it. Rebecca is absolutely trying to rip me off. I'll be happy to get this whole divorce thing behind me. It's being weighing heavily on me lately.
I'm feeling rather sad today. My kids aren't here and I miss them. I went out to eat but wasn't very hungry. I just kept watching the families sitting together. I'm jealous of them. I really miss being married. I don't miss my wife, but I do miss the whole "family" thing. It's really hard when I go to events at my kid's school. It seems like I'm the only single person around. I feel so sorry for my kids. Although they seem happy, it must be hard on them. My parent's divorce was hard on me, and I was 35 years old. My relationship with my kids is better than it's ever been though. I can now totally enjoy their company. Before it always seemed like I was taking my frustrations out on them. I used to be short tempered but I'm much calmer now.
I don't really have much else to say other than to hope Kara and her family made it through the hurricane okay.
