Bright, Why do you second guess yourself when you post? The forum is here for posters to feel safe and comfortable in posting whatever comes to mind that may occur during their situation. We have threads on music, recipes, etc. Why? Because it helps to be able to put pen to paper and express our thoughts and finds ways to help refocus on what is important and that is YOU! So, please stop thinking that your postings are boring and no movement taking place. There is movement in each and every posting because you are evolving whether you think it or not.
So, you both are communicating now over the escrow and mortgage issues and this is good. It's common ground to make sure the payments are correct. Your h is very concerned out shucking out a large amount of money right now and so are you.
Is there hope? There is always hope, but you need to continue to keep your expectations very low at this time.
I do hope that you have a good day and stop putting yourself and your thread down...
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
