You're sounding so strong and healthy, Alex...I'm happy for you. That said, I think it's wise to look out for what comes next - since the reality of bringing in the lawyers, etc, will no doubt bubble up a lot of other emotions for all of you.
There's a lot of peace that comes with being incredulous, isn't there? It's like allowing someone to work within their own issues without allowing them to suck you into their vortex.
