I cannot believe his latest trick!!!

Omfg - I am so

StbExH, has really surpassed himself this time.
Just recieved a letter form his solicitor asking for a stay of proceedings due to his mental state

Apparantly he is too emotional to sign a couple of forms to complete the divorce , but is capable of still holding down a full time job, having our DC for weekends, playing football and generally managing as well as anyone else.

sorry just needed to rant

He made no contact yesterday at all.
I was going to take the DC out this morning, but think I might let them play nicely create havoc, and take them out after lunch.
I feel quite drained and still have anxiety butterflies

I can also conclude that it is not lack of calories that makes you lose weight but stress And my weight had started to stabilise again

Its hard to go back to feeling like that after getting through the first part of all of this. But think of it as his 'last stand'. His strategy has backfired spectacularly on him and you are on the final leg of this journey.

He would have got away with it before, but now is a different matter.

Keep looking forward, you are almost there. His anger at his own stupidity will be eating him up and in the past, you were an easy target for his mood swings. That has changed. He can't treat you like that anymore - a lesson he is learning at break-neck speed.

Be kind to yourself through all of this.

Feeling very strange tonight.

He contacted me for the first time today since the incident last week. by text to ask if I still wanted him to take the DC to the dentist tomorrow

I will obviously be doing that and then he has his first supervised contact tomorrow night.

Today I have had SS and the DV unit on the phone. SS not opening a case as I am already protecting DC with supervised contact. The dv unit have said I have been flagged as a priority house and ran through some safety plans with me.

All still seems very surreal

Hang in there OP, you're doing the right thing.
