I really am glad to see that you are hanging in there. You are right to adapt a "wait and see" attitude.
I think the advice to write out your conversation two ways is great. And I loved the post from Treesa2 - I may have to save that one myself.
I hope that your D is doing better this week now that she is back in the post-holiday routine. I thought of her and her skating yesterday as I was out putting another layer of water on my backyard rink. It should be good to go by the weekend - yahoo!
You sound like your attitude is guarded but optimistic. Getting a handle on the finances is always a good idea no matter what happens. Making contingency plans is always good - and your settlement information sounds very fair.
Now let's pray that it doesn't come down to using it.
Keep us posted. I hope to get on Yahoo sometime soon - have a crazy schedule this week...
