tho he never gave any credit to the fact that a full time wife and a bunch of kids looks good to tptb. a hidden asset that he never acknowledged. the fact that he NEVER had to take time off for a sick kid to go to the doctor, never had to take report card day off, never had to make the kind of compromises that the other dads he worked w w working working wives had to make. it greased the skids for him.
but from the get go in the divorce i have said that the judge would be far more generous to me than he ever was or would be. and so it is.
i get to be my own person now. finally.
my life is good.
