Hmmm......

Trying this again.

I posted a reply twice from my phone, but they aren't up.

So.... My lawyer planted a landmine in court yesterday.

"So, we are dealing primarily with G.I. issues that are creating problems with working."

"Yes"

"So, we agree, it's G.I. issues that are making it hard to go to work."

"(exasperated) YES."

So, that is on record and agreed on.

There are three letters my wife attached from her medical file to her family doctor from different specialists identifying a particular prescription that created widespread relief of symptoms.

I have a couple of years of those prescriptions filled and unused at home. She stopped taking it back in 2020 it looks like.

They also reference restrictive diets and food intolerances. She didn't follow any dietary restrictions.

We can also bring forward proof of heavy drinking, and her doing very active things socially - concert going, hiking, etc.

I don't like thinking like this. I hate doing this. I tried to look after her for years and she's created a situation where I actually really, really have to fight back against her and make her look bad in court to just make her stop.

I alternately feel empowered and angry, and then feel empathy for her. Life isn't manageable for her.

Or.... It is, and she's just hoping to use me.

Yes, she will have to provide an affidavit from our family doctor attesting to it that she can't work, or can't work full time.

She earns less than she would on social assistance.
