Vey detached, no longer anxious, in limbo

[Painter]

Phoebe, good to hear from you. I get that it's difficult to deal with this. It's one of the reasons I'm not doing anything legally, I just need to be happy and quiet and recover for a while. My financial situation is clear so I don't have to wonder about what will happen, and that makes a difference of course.

I'm glad you have a very competent friend to help you through this.

It's sad to hear that STBXH is so opportunistic. I hope this is all settled soon so you don't have to live with the toll this takes on you.

I think you can consider the building of the chicken hangout a therapy expense.
