Thank you! 

 

Our situation is normal I suppose; both never married, no criminal history, TONS of visits, no red flags 🚩 

 

For whatever reason, we were one of the few unlucky ones.

Thank you! I’ve been creeping and stalking the next steps on the thread. I think I have a pretty clear idea of how it’s all going to pan out from here (I think! 🙃)

 

I definitely see and appreciate all that you say on here ✊🏻 👸🏼
