Good luck today. Allow yourself time to think about your answers before you speak. I just had an interview for a job evaluation and after I relaxed a little bit I said something that I hadn't meant to discuss. Be on your guard and take your time. You've got this.

good luck!
take your time with every question

And there's no use in backtracking

I might be late, but I am sending you MOJO and good thoughts, and of course strength.
AAS is so right, every time you piss her off know you are doing the right thing.
That hole she is digging is almost deep enough for her to lie down in now.
((((and strength)))

Depositions were cancelled, as she SIGNED the binding temporary parenting plan. And I am fine with it. They agreed to change the most important language and terms to which I objected.
Fixed schedule, exclusive use and possession of home, bunch of other things. Trial has simply been postponed. But the big marital settlement agreement shouldn't be a problem. So this is a huge step toward settling, as the temporary plan will likely become permanent.

Best news I've seen today!
I originally joined SI as a way to help my best friends find ways of coping with infidelity, but now infidelity has touched my family much closer to home.
