My gosh -- it's taken 1 1/2yrs to get to the settlement phase? Why? Do you have children?

I hope you DO look out for just YOU. It sounds like you're hurting badly. And it sounds like you've been badly HURT -- so make sure you get what is yours!

I'm sorry this is so painful for you. I wish you the very best. Will you keep us posted, please? I'll be looking for an update. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
