I do not know if I was any help, but I did feel a bit upset when you
attempted to explain what had happened. It may be worth nothing, but I
feel like you two need to be careful. There seems to have been too much
misunderstanding by those who you were dealing with.
By that I mean too much misunderstanding for all of it to have been
honest mistakes. Take care, and have a happy new year as is possible.
Check in here once in a while when you have anything you want to mull
over publicly in front of complete strangers.
I cannot pray or any such for you because I do not believe in that stuff,
but on the other hand I cannot see why wishful thinking can hurt anyone.
