Worry Box

[Dena]

I was just wondering if any of you have ever heard of a worry box? If you have read any of my messages you know I am going through a divorce, and possibly lack of teaching job this Fall. I have been blessed with true friends and today... I felt bad I was suppose to meet with a principal about a possible job this Fall, but she had to cancel and I won't be able to see her til next week. I was at the point of tears. But my friend gave me this gift. It is a pretty box, but when you open it, it has three angels inside with this poem:
Your Worry Box
This box is for your worries,
The aches within your heart.
A place to tuck away your fears
Where love and hope can start,
So keep this box beside you,
And know how much they care.
For when you need peace and joy,
The angels will be there.
I am so thankful for friends and for my new e-mail buddies, I appreciate all your hugs and prayers. Please continue to think of me. I go to see a lawyer Friday, I don't want this to get ugly I just feel I need to protect myself. Ex hubby doesn't know I am planning to see a lawyer he thinks we can do this all on our own, he got some divorce papers, typed us up a copy and wants me to sign it and have it notarized. Should I tell him or not?

I wouldn't tell him... it would probably only start more trouble between you and him, and you certainly don't need/want that. You need to protect yourself and IMHO your last concern should be what he thinks or if he'll approve. If everything is on the up and up... he really shouldn't care if you see a lawyer or not. IMHO what you choose to do for yourself is no longer any of his business anyway... you've got to stop worrying about what he wants and start thinking about yourself... Good luck!

bye... :wave:

At this point I don't think I'd tell him. Go to see the lawyer on Fri, get his advice, and then tell him after that. I agree with Diane. I understand that you don't want things to get ugly and I think it's great if you guys can avoid having things turn sour, but on the other hand you are ending your relationship and you have to protect yourself. Get a copy of the papers your husband has and tell him you want/need a few days to look them over. Show them to your lawyer and don't sign anything in the meantime. Good luck and hang in there!!
