There is absolutely no love, respect or feelings for me whatsoever. I have outlived my welcome. It appears that you have gotten everything you've ever wanted and now are discarding me and our relationship. The horrible thing is that I'm not sure how long this has been going on. It seems that every time we have problems, I buy you something new and our relationship miraculously heals itself. I now believe (and have probably always believed) that if I wouldn't have decided to build the house, you'd have already left me. That's a shame, because I will never forgive you for allowing me to sell MY home (and the girls home) and then discarding our marriage sending me and my family out into the streets without the most important material thing Jennifer and Lindsay have ever had. I look back at our 9 years of marriage, especially the last five years and the only time I can remember truly being loved and appreciated was when you were pregnant with Natalie. You blame me for not being as good to you as I was when you were pregnant, but I say that you were the one who changed after you had Natalie. Not that you weren't that way before you were pregnant, you were just different during the pregnancy. I''ve played this game much too long. I need to be loved, appreciated and respected. I'm neither of those. I deserve better and maybe, since you are obviously so unhappy, you do too. I'm positive the effect on Natalie will be devastating. That's why we have decided to drag this out this long. But our relationship, if you can call it that, has degraded to a very low and dangerous point. That's why I have decided to move into an apartment after the girls go home. I have already been looking, I just need to decide where to move. As for custody, I'm sure we will have differing opinions and we will have to discuss them in person. I would appreciate it if you could make some time over the next couple days to discuss with me the timing of my move and discuss how we are going to handle it with our parents, friends and mostly the kids. Bitterly, Bill Scholtes
