Hi David ~ I never followed your sitch but I'm in a similar place and just want to say hang in there. I know how aggravating it can be to be sucked into the vortex of endless legal expenses.
I've always wondered... how can some people be so entitled/narcissistic etc.? The reality is, those people have some internal logic that makes sense to them and that does not make them seem like bad people. They can always point to past resentments and somehow craft logic that makes sense and justifies their actions. They can easily find lawyers who will happily support their fanciful narrations so they can continue litigation and digging in their heels righteously.
