Nothing is as bad as it sometimes looks. A silver lining is the awesome lawyers you have on your side now. In that regard, things have been improving, not so?! But, still, perhaps a good cry is the thing then get on with life.
Dick's truth is mostly only in his head. It doesn't matter who he was married to, the outcome would've been very similar. So, no beating yourself up. It's just a waste of time and energy.
Take care.
