marching,

I disagree w/your IC. IF information about the affairs can be beneficial to you in the LEGAL proceedings than by all means collect that data, but in terms of your personal/emotional closure better not to know at all IMO. The new additional info will likely just rile you up and cause more spin. Better to leave it behind you and look forward.

I'm no expert in IC selection but have seen plenty others recommend shopping around until you find one that's good and one that fits you. Like any profession there's a range of competence.

In terms of goals...just breathe. It's is ALRIGHT not to have structured goals and not to have your next year or two mapped out precisely. Prioritize your mental and physical health for sure. Give yourself permission to take the time to heal. You don't need to be back to your perfect self at this point. It's OK to take your time and take things slow.
