It's taking everything I have to maintain. I couldn't put in words what many of these responses mean to me. I told my wife today that I was going to get an attorney for the separation agreement. I worded it in a way to let her know that it is so I won't have to distract her at work all the time. That part is true, but work has her nearly impossible to track down and this will help us both. I have now had 2 people no show on the estimate to fix some drywall damage. I'm thinking of just hitting the greensheet and picking 3 names at random to get some prices. I really need to get this moving. My Dad dropped by the house to check the damage. Many years ago, he would do estimates on houses that needed to be prepared for selling. He didn't think it was too bad. If anyone knows a handyman that does good work at a reasonable price, I'm all ears. I did expose this to my Dad as he is a very understanding person. My Mom is too judgemental and would only make things worse. She knows about the separation, but thinks it's about the debt. My sister knows, because well she's on her 3rd husband and her second one ended similar to mine. The only thing is that she ended up marrying the guy that she had the affair with. Her ex-husband married the girl that was renting a bedroom. It's a crazy world. I still have my ups and downs. My wife is in her apartment and that's good for both of us. We moved some stuff to storage and seemed to get along for the most part. She hates packing and moving. Who doesn't? She kept b****ing about, until I walked out of the house while she was talking. I told my son to try and setup at least 1 day a week to sit and talk to her. I think they need to. I will be so glad when the house get's ready to sell, so I can move out. The house I once called home is now becoming an empty reminder of what life once was. God I hope my new apt doesn't have a yapper.
