Always, I totally agree about these things that happen to us. When we're in the trows of it, it's hard to see that there's any good purpose for it all. But there is. In my case, it changed who I was for the better. I was drowning in life. I hated who I was. I went through hell and back with H and now I feel good about me. And you have gone through a similar transformation.
Are you happy about love lost? No. But did this turn of events impact yoru life positively? Yes.
About the trial, CONGRATS!! I think going to trial is a rather drastic step. IN fact, I think in NJ the courts STRONGLY encourage mediation before trial. It is just a waste of everybody's money and time.
I'm glad you feel the toxic fumes leaving you! That's great. Keep going, baby!
