Phoebe, you have come so far! This new betrayal - you're just so much stronger and taking it with so much dignity and calm. Yes, all we can do is feel the feelings and try to protect ourselves.
I hope the Ls can act fast before the money is gone. Right now, he probably still has it, but it could disappear quickly if he's into drugs and destructive behaviors. I hope there is something that can be done. If nothing else, a call from one of your Ls to tell him what will happen if he doesn't return the funds.
What does your L friend think?
