although different in many ways, our stories have curious resonances (apart from unusually vindictive ex spouses) I am still embroiled in legal action and just have learned of some new stuff he is sneakily planning.
We had a wonderful amazing house that we both loved, but just before xh MLC kicked in. Although it didn't cause us financial problems, neither of could afford it on our own, and its sale caused me some grief after my xh left me (although ultimately only a thing) But, my eldest son who is a hard headed lawyer said that he sometimes felt the house was cursed!
The previous owners, who were really lovely people, their youngest daughter attempted suicide in the house. Do houses have an atmosphere? All I know is that nothing went right after we bought the house, even though it looked like paradise on earth.
Of course I am not saying that the house caused MLC! But I do think it was a factor somewhere.
