25yearsMLC 10 Years Later I FILE D part 6

[25yearsmlc]

, I got a lawyer who was such a bully he scared me and we got the whole thing settled without having to deal with the court. That was intentional. I didn't want to spend limited resources that way.)

I am with you here^^, even though I feel fairly confident (85%??) that I'd win pretty big at a trial. But if numbers are, for example, spending $100k to get $125K a year later, maybe no thanks.

I have a friend whose husband is in jail and left her with seven children and she has no means of supporting them. His family have utterly abandoned her and her children.
Her parents would help if they could but there's little they can do for her and they live 1000 miles away.

you have to wonder (b/c we have a moral compass) if the h's family is so overwhelmed by what she may need, that they don't even offer a pittance by comparison. I mean, what if the decent member of that family -pretend there is one!- could send her $50 a month.

Would your friend scoff or accept it graciously? I'm serious. I have had moments in which I wondered if my multimillionaire FIL and his w could just give h the money HE owes me. It would save ME a hassle and their granddaughter d20, would not have been nearly as stressed this past summer as she was (suicidally actually). So if FIL had sent me $25, I might have lit the check on fire...rather than muttering a feeble "thanks so much".

But that is in the past now. Deep breaths, 25, deep breaths.

If she can manage, you can too.


Yes, I can. I am, I will.

The weird panic attacks might be medication related? I saw that pounding heart beats are side effects.

But then, HOW WOULD I KNOW if it's stress?


My first job was as an admin assistant. Because of that sword hanging over my head I didn't think I was capable of handling anything else. (For a while, also, I wasn't.)

Def makes sense. The distractibility & poor concentration was scary & amazing. It's much better now in part b/c I WANT the distractions.

Oh, Odd insight - If I were not in an area where I have family & friends, I think my concerns from my pride would be zero, and I'd take anything.

What am I worried about? That My high school nemesis will brag that she was right to sleep with my 18 y/o boyfriend!??

Hmm, I have to ponder this b/c it's a weird unhelpful hinderance.


JUST. ANYTHING. Will do. Temp or anything.

Temping has a lot of appeal. I will call tomorrow.


Go back to that facebook post I mentioned. A few other people found me... you can too... [/quote]


My faith is opened and I (usually) feel great strength and love from it. I have had some "dark night of the soul", as have we all. And I wake in a stronger better way.

My Gal for tonight is a dinner out with childhood friends. My dog is also invited.

I'll check the fb out tomorrow if I cannot sooner.

And

Maybell, thank you.
