Jelly, you asked what my monster looked like; I immediately pictured a creature much like a saber-toothed tiger. A tiger with thorns in its paws. Savage, wounded, and cranky...that is my monster. Great. Next I'll be naming it. LOL
Julie, my husband's friend is the one who needs to drop the charges - but since the state picked it up, it won't help much. I've got an idea that will probably make H happy and prove I've made restitution to his friend. I WILL get it in writing and recorded, though. I'll make allowances in the divorce that will amount to the funds H had to pay to repair friend's truck. It was me behind the wheel, so I'll be responsible and pay up. Making restitution will be huge, too, according to attorney.
Hopefully will get lots of questions answered tomorrow. I wish my heart would settle down. Maybe tomorrow I'll find some more peace.
