I picked the wrong profession......

Here goes as if my day couldn't suck any worse. Met with the attorney today and he was very straight forward. If I give him a $1,0000. up front and $175.00 and hour is his price he can fix this whole thing for me.

According to the attorney my best case scenario is put the house up for sale as is asap. I will probably have to take some the debt the thorn has accrued. I will get some money if he can prove I was married to the thorn at least 10yrs of his military career. But it will cost me alot of money to get out with this in the very least because the thorn has done a very good job of hiding things. The attorney states it will take alot to untangle this web.

I guess I was in a different meeting because I very clearly told the attorney I have no money. The thorn refinanced and pocketed money, not me. There is no equity in the house. I am listening to a different news station. It is a buyers market not a sellers. Did we forget it needs a new roof, driveway,deck (because the other rotten one was ripped out),heating and air because the old one was tagged unfixable,paint inside and out and the basement takes in water with every good storm.

Why didn't I go to school to be an attorney. Oh I know because I didn't plan very well. That has been my whole problem all along. Doing the right thing. Make sure everyone else's needs are met. Here I am dog paddling up to my neck in shit and do not see a way out. A friend offered me to come live in her basement if it works out for her to get this townhome. I would not do that to my children. The worse case scenario for them is ending up living with their dad because I can't even afford the attorney to fight him. Which is what he was banking on.

They attorney can say put the house on the market. It is not his home or the only one he has known as in the case of my youngest son. Who I am sure will be okay with whatever happens as all the children will be. I have done this 3 times already and I am tired of losing a never ending battle. Brief interjection here for those with their mouths hanging open with the fact of three times. The thorn always retreats and turns on the charm when things are not looking so good for him. Me, not wanting to be the bad guy takes it up the ass to keep the peace. I guess I only have 60 days of doing nothing to find out how much less I am gonna have.

P.S. To my divorce gf parking our suv's under a bridge end to end and calling it a single wide is looking pretty damn good.
