Ah Hardlessons, thanks for the update. What a long strange journey.
I hope you never have to go through anything like that again.
I know that as horrible as it all sounds, well not "sounds", was, it wasn't all horrible and she's not a demon. I know that deep down she probably has a very kind heart and that is what you found. Unfortunately - well you certainly know the rest.
I too am glad you have sold the monument and the coincidences between your ex and the person who bought it really are amazing, funny how things happen like that sometimes. Maybe it was showing you how you actually helped someone else. You took care of the repairs, made sure the house was maintained and when you were ready that woman and her Daughter were able to purchase the house you took care of (when they were ready). It seems fitting.
You know I wish you well. I'm glad you have stuck around SR, always find your posts insightful.
