Hey ladies, I am meeting an old friend for lunch to talk about what he has been going through with his ex. I wanted to throw out some bullet points and see if you have any advice you would offer him. DH said he is likely F'ed because Virginia and they weren't married but I don't think so... let me know what you think if you have a few minutes!

- They were together for 5 years, 2 kids (18mo and 3yrs old). Engaged but never married.

My heart kind of broke for my SS20 last night. We are in the process of doing an adult guardianship of him and his therapist recommended that we do this crazy assessment for court to keep it moving quickly and with no hiccups.

He has Autism and previously diagnosed as bi-polar (that was under question though). Anyway, one of the questions on the assessment was : Do you understand why people want "intimate" relationships?

He answered no.

I mean really....Is the $68,766.88 that we have paid our lawyer not enough for him to do his freaking job?? Yes, I just pulled out the last statement and added it all up. This is over 6 years total so while it is a lot... it hasn't been all at once, I guess. 

I swear the longer SS is here the more resentment both DH and I feel. 

We went Kayaking yesterday- it was gorgeous! The marina we launch from is in a historic area and there is this awesome brewery that overlooks the water and always has the best food trucks. So after 3 hours on the water, hot and sweaty Dh and I were both wanting a nice cold beer and food. Of course, we couldn't. DH starts getting cranky and talking about how we can come back in 2 weeks and do this again and actually have fun and grab a beer because SS won't be here to ruin it for us -- IN FRONT OF SS!
