I am a writer. No, I'm not published and I do not make money from my writing. Repeated attempts to get the rat bastard to email me--both verbally and in writing--have gone unanswered. But I can sit at a computer and compose. I have a political science degree. Which means I can read, write and think. Which also means that I can be a "spin doctor." So, at this early hour when I should be asleep, it hit me--I know how to spin this divorce in my favor. There is a track record of emails with my attorney. There is evidence in writing of his ass-hole behavior. There is evidence of him cleaning out the bank account. But now, I'm going to play to my strengths and that of composition. I know how to do it. And I'm going to play to my strengths because I'm going to get what I want out of this divorce. Ok. Pep talk to myself done. Time to go write a rough draft--because that's what you do when you're a writer.

Often at the most unexpected times we find strength and get motivated. I am up for different reasons ( constant nightmares) but I am glad you are feeling this and taking action. Utilizing the skills you possess and fighting for yourself. I wish you all the best. Stay strong

That's right, Leia!!
I also enjoy writing, so we both know that the best ideas come at the most inconvenient times. Go for it!!
Love the pep talk.
