Just checking in

We are all doing well. Been busier now that I'm working and getting back into the swing of things with church. Doing a wonderful study on Covenant through the Precepts Ministries. It's really beautiful. At first, I was nervous that it would be a constant reminder that my so called "husband" placed little to no value on our covenant, but it's been more about God's covenant with us - His people. Again, I am being pursued. He is captivated with me!

I've really tried to refrain from saying negative things about "he who must not be named" :) - but I've had it with trying to always take the high road when he's slithering around in the ditch and trying to fling mud up at me all day long. So here goes a "vent": last week, he liquidated MORE of our HELOC - and then went through the pretense of "asking" me if he could "borrow" it. He'd already purchased a car with it before even asking!!! Can you believe the sheer audacity? "Lori, I know I'm shirking every responsibility towards you and the boys - especially now that I've left you without any health coverage. But it's more important to me to have some wheels and not be inconvenienced by having to take a bus or ask for a ride than it is to make sure you have backup money to pay for Noah's meds and keep up your B12 shots so you can care for the children I've abandoned." He even got a legal consultation back in the summer and apparently didn't pay one bit of attention to the lawyer. Any attorney worth his salt would have explained the concept of "liquidating marital assets for personal gain" to him. What does Rob hear? "blah, blah, blah...do whatever you want, blah, blah, blah". I'm to the point where it's starting to become humorous...how easy he's making this for me. He's hanging himself - I don't have to point a finger. God is clearly the head of my home, my husband and father to my son's. He is our defender - our bulwark. No weapon (financial, emotional, spiritual, physical) Rob forms against me will prosper. As a matter of fact, they all seem to be strangely backfiring. Rob is no match for the Almighty.

He's played the fool - he's sown to the wind and he's reaping a whirlwind.

Hey Lori, I know this probably goes without saying, but I'm sure hoping you have a good lawyer working on this with you!
