"Almost from the date we signed the Settlement Agreement, it was like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. For the first time in I don’t know how many years, Brenda and I can have a conversation that is not fraught with tension. We can talk peacefully and respectfully to each other - it’s easier to be kind because the hostility is gone. I am not sure if the word “friends” applies but I would say the caring remains, and I am able to be supportive without taking ownership of problems and challenges. I am pleased to say that Brenda has become more than serviceably competent, even in the matter of her finances which she agonized over so profusely. I again thank you for all you did in helping us get through one of the hardest things either of us had to do. There is a peaceful life on the other side. I am glad to say that I am quite pleased that we can both live our lives now without the rancor and animosity. You did a yeoman’s work on our behalf and I, for one am grateful."
