We came to a settlement after talking directly for the first time since separating. Her lawyers messed up everything more than anything we ever did in our relationship and created unnecessary problems.

They went the route of controlling abusive asshole guy that wanted to stop her from living her life. 1 hr on the phone and we are now on the same page. It was good, I'm not moving forward naively but, there is an opporunity to finish the settlement.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel.
