Thanks Dexter for all of the suggestions.

The county prosecutor is handling all of this, representing the state. So, that's good in a lot of ways... I don't have to do too much here. I don't know if I need to appear in court. I do know he will.

I think though what you've got to suggest is good advice. I have to keep finding ways to remind myself that this has nothing at all to do with me. I know I need to rebuild my inner strength.
So, I guess I just anticipate a lot of bad gunk happening. All antagonistic, all costly, all time consuming.

I think to insulate myself I just need to remind myself that if and when he yanks his head out of his cave that this is HIS Problem, I don't need to respond. It's really difficult for me to deal with someone with addictions, especially someone I was married to and is the father of my kids.
