Thanks Jen. It's nice to know that there is someone out there who is very like me. I needed to hear your advice and I appreciate it coming from you. I am so sorry we're both dealing with this, but in many ways, it is very liberating to find this strength inside.
I called to make my first appointment with an attorney today. I'm staying dark and know that this will take some time to play out, but I want to get the process started.
On a side note, it is interesting to see how H is following the same pattern after this weekend that he did after the bomb in July. I can see how important it is for me to step back and take my hands completely off this sitch.
