After leaving my stress was always "what stupid thing is he going to do next that I am going to have to deal with".
Only thing that really saved me from more stress was the 2100 miles between us. However it is harder to deal with legal issues from a far distance. When I changed my phone number to my new location he didn't get the # & my daughter honored my wish not giving it to him but he has my email & never communicated via email or my lawyers. Good or bad, I think he was clueless that I am really good at finding out facts from that far away without him even knowing I know
