I hate to say it, but I do agree w/OwnIt. Some of them never go away. The $10 reminds me of a time when I used a gas card (just prior to the Mother Ship taking my xh up into space) and when the bill came in, he went nuts about the $10 I had put on the credit card for gas. Trust me...I know exactly what you, and everyone else, has and continues to go through. It's not an easy road to navigate, but there will come a time, when you need to find the humor in it all and realize that you can't rationalize w/them. BTW, your lawyer is right...he would be laughed out of the court room over something as silly as this and, yes, the beanie story.
Hang in there!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
