Grace - Thx for the reply. The lawyer advised to give her the money but as you suggested to keep good records. Says it is best to maintain good will. I don't feel like a quick study. So many people on this board seem to be very perceptive and able to see thru complex situations. I read the DB book. I need to go thru it again. I think I need to go thru the goal setting part especially so I can start setting specific ones. The detaching is the hard part for me. There are days that I accept that she has to go thru this but other days where I just don't have the same perspective and the patience and understanding isn't there and I feel very down. I pray (for both of us). Wasn't always good with that. It helps me a lot. My spiritual life has improved big time. I believe this is part of the reason why this had to happen. Thx for the encouragement.
