hi all you good ppl. i cannot thank you all in person for the supportive posts and input. it's helped me come to a decision. i will seek counsel on this and if i have a case, i will seek restitution thru the legal system. i'm in a 12 step program of recovery that helps too. i will accept what the legal system decides. will close the book on this chapter in my life after that. sadly "lost" a sister but sadly she made that decision so i really have not lost her. she lost herself and me. i'm not mad anymore. still hurt about what's happened but with all your love and support i am more at peace. no longer the gnawing anxiety of should i, shouldn't i? will move on after this and find that serene place that i know is waiting for me. i really don't know if i could have come to a conclusion as easy without all of your input and caring.
i will keep u posted as this develops cause i believe you have a vested interest in the outcome. i know i do...oh i am being silly now...
many many thanks again for your just being the wonderful frends i have found here at pc.

I'm glad to hear you found some acceptance and peace about this. And thank you for the update! Good luck, I hope you get some justice.

I'm so glad that you were able to come to a conclusion - a plan forward, so that you can put this angst behind you. Of course, it will still leave the sadness of the relationship with your sister....but again, you understand that she chose that path, not you.

I'm also glad that you were able to find help here! I am learning that this is wonderful online community.

I'm so glad that you've come to a decision, that's usually the hardest part. It soundsl like you've got a really healthy attitude about your sister as well. I look forward to your updates.

This is a good decision, madisgram!
Yeah for taking care of you

It's sad about your sister, mine also, but it was their choice. It's our choice, though, to take care of ourselves and not be doormats.

Re the legal issues...jme, but if you don't pursue it you will always wonder about it.

Peace,
Cap

Good for you! You have done your homework, or heart and head work might be a better choice of words. I congratulate you in making the right choice and plan and really want to know "the rest of the story" as Paul Harvey said. Being at peace with it and not in pieces, torn in all directions....and living your life the best way you know how is great for you.

Keep us posted.

PS It is making me think and rethink about possible legal action that I've been keeping my head in the sand over...doing nothing gets that result........

Love

Pex
