You did everything you could, and H still is h3ll bent on his path. It appears from my vantage point that H had no plan on further negotiations and would drag this on indefinitely. Lord knows there is ample examples of that around here to suggest that is a standard script response from these lost soul MLCers.
I am so very proud of you.
Your health, your kids, YOU - are worth more than all your property and assets combined.
With this decision made, things are now just a puzzle - not a problem. You know all the financial implications, the best and worst cases, all what it would cost, etc.... You, my smart friend, can solve this - because it is now in your control.
I do have to run this morning, but had to stop in and let you know - You did great!
I will pop in later. Please breathe and believe you did the right thing for you. Feelings will stir over the next while, and they will wither.
Talk soon.
DnJ
Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
