I know it probably doesn't seem like it now, but regardless of what the future holds, getting the legal stuff done now will help you to heal and move forward. I think had I been able to do that 3.5 years ago, I would be in a much better place. This is really the ultimate DB. It will be interesting to see how he handles things now that he has his freedom and how long that high lasts before the reality of his losses begin adding up for him. Regardless, you have handled this with grace, dignity and kindness and you are setting a tremendous example for your D.
