Well .. as I type this .. I just can't believe I'm actually typing this .. I'm not going to be divorced on 7/1 .. the reason? 

My atty suffered a stroke. 

Yes, .. you read that right .. I'm really in shock that this has and is happening.   

Now there are some good news things .. first off my atty is ok considering what has happened .. he has issues with his vision which make him dizzy.  I know him through church and he's got 5 kids under the age of 12, .. 2 of those kids with autism.  So good news .. he's ok.  I have reservation if he can continue in the capacity as my atty if nothing else .. I have NO idea how long his recovery will be .. his next appointment to discuss physical rehab is literally 4 weeks out.  Obviously they are waiting to see what will heal on its own so they know exactly what to deal with .. this devastates not only him .. MANY cases that are going on at the moment mine being only one of those. 

There is a plan B in the works at the moment.  The firm isn't dropping me as a client.  AND it is as important to them as it is to me to get this all resolved at this point and time.  The shock that they were in was bigger than anything I experienced .. this is their friend as well. 

Part of the plan B is that with the continuance I may be able to get a different atty from the firm .. thankfully this is not a complicated case .. it's straight up alimony and support.  I did ask the secretary .. umm .. what atty here is going to want this case?  You realize that if that happens this will be my 3rd atty from the same firm?  I'm just beyond the pale on this for sure.   

My STBAX doesn't know yet and I had an extremely insane texting deal with him yesterday.  He so doesn't live in reality and it's just not up to me to point that out.  The texting ended when he really started rewriting history .. and I thought about Pink and some of his responses regarding this behavior and at least I laughed about it .. I also thought .. and I SOOO know something you don't .. we are not going to be divorced yet, which brought the thought .. HOLY COW .. he's going to be PISSED.  He's trying to tell me that my name is off the truck (he took care of it MONTHS ago, .. gotta love the internet and being able to check.  All I need is the VIN# which I have.  He tried to tell me that he was paying the parking bills at the credit place .. THAT'S not true .. they won't give out any kind of information regarding our accounts because he split the accounts up already which was REALLY stupid on his part.  That's another story .. that happened around the time he took my name off the gas bill .. LOL.  Plus there is the fact there is an open ticket at the City .. UGH.  So he was suppose to do that after work .. I doubt it for sure. 

He ended it with tell me how he has to add this to one of the many other things on his list .. Dr bills, 401k bills and so on .. I laughed to myself and text back ..I imagine the repercussions of the DUI and accident last year still find a  way to come up.  He is unaware that I know about him being sued by the surgeon who operated on his hand/wrist.  I'm sure those bills are going to be coming in slowly but surely to court.  I did not hear back from him .. it's just NOT my issue .. I thought I was nice about it .. I was completely factual .. and non-emotional.  He wants to blame me for those things and the reality is .. he has the attitude of "just do what I do .. just don't pay". 

Dealing with him is draining.  I sit and wonder .. is this really part of God's plan?  There will be a higher purpose I know .. and it's hard to just trust that .. what choice do I have.  I did wonder if my STBAX would be so angry that the next time we go to court he's just going to agree to everything. 

So please say some prayers for my atty, his family, and for me .. thanks in advance ..

Hugs S :)
