I'm glad you have the support system to go to court with...and much energy to you to do that. Yes, it will be terribly difficult, but it won't kill you...and if you take a note to read and remind yourself "it isn't happening now" you will get through it.

Remember, it's because it's so difficult that you need the settlement...if you were on the bench testifying and it was easy, ...well, you know...

I didn't have the support system you do, family, T. I was forced to settle for a pittance, which my then husband took and divorced me afterwards.

And yes, here I am 24 years later still disabled.

Trial is one of the toughest things to go through...but do it and be done. You will feel relief once it's all over in that respect.

PTSD is one of the most treatable disorders, though difficult. Having the court case and trial hanging over your head limits how much you can heal... until it's over.
Good wishes. Do your best.
