I can relate. Although I like to sing Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" will mowing.
Since you've changed your online name, I'm not sure, but I believe I might have read some of your thread in my early days at DB. Unless there are lots of LBS that get arrested for a little innocent spying.
My oldest niece ended up in a sitch quite like your BFF's, except she was the only, oldest child of a short first marriage, that he never had anything to do with, but left her in charge of his estate. With three ex-wifes and 4 kids looking fire at her. She didn't want any part of it, but did as he had asked and then gave the rest over to wife #2, who he had been married to the longest.
Anyway, glad you are back. We need some excitement. This bunch has began rehashing the 80's.
