Chapter 3: Spring and the Journey Continues

[psluke]

I have written a letter to send with my payment to my attorney. I still disagree with how things happened but feel I have no option but to pay her.

Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on how this sound?

Dear S,

My understanding was David offered $3,000.00 rather than carry my health insurance. He adjusted that after we discussed the work I had done on the house after he moved out. To my knowledge the only ones that discussed attorney fees were you and I, while we were the only ones in the room. My recollection was your asking what I had already paid and then your stating I would likely not owe anything else and if so it might be around $100.00. So we decided not to mention attorney fees at all in the discussion. As I said that was my understanding. I know I was not in a lot of the discussion, which I think was not a good way to handle things. If we had all been together both David and I would have known what was discussed.

I appreciate your offer of the 50% discount because I certainly have no money and don't want to end up with you and I in court over this bill. I shall just look at this whole experience as a learning one! I have received a refund on my taxes so am able to accept your offer.

David still has all of his junk in our house that is sitting empty and still not on the market. The refrigerator ice maker water line broke and ruined the kitchen floor, goodness knows what else may be wrong as the house has been sitting empty since last September. I have tried to get him to buy me out, even offering that he doesn't have to pay me till he gets the house sold. He will not communicate at all.

He has not signed Frostbyte's papers yet. I was told I could possibly go to the court and someone would be appointed to sign for him. Is this a possiblility for me? I feel as long as there are all these loose ends it isn't totally closed. Although for him it is, I think. He has no contact or communication with me. He pays the bills on the house and no other responsibilites and seems happy to just leave things as they are. I'm not sure if he is living with Janice or his sister still. I know he and Janice have been on the road a lot this winter/spring to dog shows. I am not trying to push him on the house as I just don't want to fight with him. But it would be very simple to sign the dog papers and I would like that wrapped up at least.

Thank you.

Sincerely yours,
