NC, the basketball team will be in your brother's neck of the woods.
Hello, Yoyo, that sounds great! I wish I could be there too.
As for what others have said, I can't agree more. It definitely looks like your H has simply "bought you off" just so he can return back to his "sweet deal" -- having two women at his beck and call. Moreover he can continue to have his mistress on the side while reducing the potential threat to "his" assets secured in the family business.
We have all hoped and prayed that his positive actions towards you were both truly genuine and in your best interests. It looks like we have been wrong; our hopes and wishes for you appear to have been dashed -- and we don't want you to be hurt all over again.
I really wish now that I could instantly visit my brother and his family -- while I myself feel I am in great need of their hugs and their presence, especially now, the added benefit would be that I could also give you a bunch of much-needed real hugs, in person, for all the grief you're going through.
For now, however, all I can offer are these heart-felt if virtual ((((((hugs))))))).
