And the good news is... A small amount of faith in our judicial system has been restored to me. I was fortunate today that the presiding Judge felt that there was no room in this case for punishment and revenge as my stbxw would have liked. I feel part of my unwillingness to accept was the fear of the unknown and my financial fate. I admit my fault in the demise of my M and hoped to be fair to all of us in the settlement. Todays brief restored in me that, I WILL SURVIVE. I see light and believe it is door to the next phase of my life.
Thanks again cat03, I love and care for D17 and accept that she must do whatever she needs to do to be safe and happy. If that includes me that would be wonderful if not then I will love her just the same bio. dad or not. My fingers are crossed!
Now... if I could just remember what a smile felt like...
