Hi Pete,
Good advice on the insurance check up. I don't understand how 'winning' your house automatically includes the heirlooms etc. hand down to you. Why would she be entitled to your furniture? Were you paying the bills while she went to school? If you were married and you supported her during her education, why wouldn't you be entitled to support from her?
I know legal battles take a lot out of a person. I guess that's why I didn't pursue malpractice. He had moved half way across the country when I found out I had RSD. It came the day after surgery. RSD is such an expense and takes away your ability to work, for many of us it does, it's unbelievable how complex it is.
Anyway, you do have our concern and support-your decision. But sometimes we make decisions because we don't have the energy to fight. If only your children would come to your aid. I sincerely hope they do, not just for your house and heirlooms, but
to mend your relationship to where it should be. I truly hope that happens for you and them.
Pete, what is TBI? I have no idea. Take care of yourself. Your friend, loretta
