he's being served today

I am freaking out. My nerves are shot and have been since my lawyer called me friday. My STBX is being served this evening. I don't know how he will react. He has been pushing for reconciliation but has made no changes with his attitude whatsoever. No repenting. No request for forgiveness. Nothing to make me feel like he's serious. He has the "I made a mistake. Get past it and let's go on like nothing happened at all approach".  I'm afraid of what's going to come next. I don't know how to handle his reaction. Any tips?

Are you married to my husbund? I had the same situation but my children are older. I thought it best to give him a sincerely polite call to let him know what was happening.  My lawyer said that if he gave me any trouble to call and we would file a restraining order. This is a hard process, but you made the decision to do it  so make your plans and follow through. I stayed with friends for a few days until the heat was off and I think that helped both of us. Good luck and hang in there. It is a difficult journey to take.

Put the kids somewhere he can't find them until this settles down. You don't want him playing snatch the kids trying to get you back. Your safety comes first above everything else. If you have to leave the house then leave.

You should have a pretty good idea how he is going to handle this. Just be on the alert for the next few days and don't meet him anywhere by yourself.

If I do that he will make sure to not be around. My lawyer has a private company handling this and not the sheriffs office. My husband is emplyed by them and  I did not want this affecting his work place.

I would call him and tell him its coming - or email him or something - better to hear it from you than the sherrif.
I know it is hard to do, but that is what i think
