I just wanted to let you know that I've been reading along this whole time. I am so proud of how you are handling everything!!!! I'm glad about the positives in his email, sad about the negatives.
Can I tell you something weird though? I actually had to double-check the end of the email to make sure it wasn't something you had written. The part highlighted in red sounded to me like something you might have said yourself to H if you got the same paperwork. Does this make any sense? I think it's actually good that he is initiating a meeting to discuss this stuff because in the past you've had to bring up all the delicate financial topics. It's also good that he is having to face the consequences of his own actions instead of facing them via you. I hope this isn't offensive, I actually thought it was positive!
Do you have any reason to think he would try to make you get less than half?
Yay for Japan! I am excited to hear more about your plans. I haven't "really" been to Japan--only in the airport on the way to Indonesia. But the airport is totally posh--I actually took a shower there (which was amazing after being in transit for 12 hours already) on the way over, and on the way back I fully utilized their completely flat public sleeping area. !!!
