Good job lavieenrose......
I know how stressful it feels to know that you are in the right & have been wronged & feel there is just no way to get the wrong righted. Always hope for those good samaritans.....glad you have a neighbor who ended up being your good samaritan & was able to help you find the path to resolving the problem. Know the path from something happening to being able to resolve it is very stressful, as the mind initially hurts as if we aren't able to resolve first & not until we actually are able to resolve the situation do we feel the relief. Glad you were able to resolve it as letting go feels so very impossible most of the time (at least from my experiences).....for me, it seems like I'm always having to do the letting go.
I was really feeling your stress & your relief in being able to resolve it even for the future.....good feel to know you won't having to be dealing with the same situation yet another year......very good job!!!!
