Finally, we have reached a financial settlement approved by the applicable legal procedures. Some sums were taken into account when dividing the estate, and Ryan assumed certain payment obligations.
I didn’t recover every dollar.
But I got a result that allowed me to go on without staying financially tied to every decision of his.
As for the girls, we have established a contact schedule and contributions for their maintenance, taking into account their age and the professional situation of Ryan.
I didn’t try to punish him using children.
Emma and Lily deserved to be loved by both parents, even though their parents could no longer live together.
Ryan started visiting them regularly.
At first, he was left-handed. He didn’t know how to prepare the bottles, change them quickly or to reassure them when they were both crying.
But he began to learn.
I don’t know if his regret came from love, shame or the fact that he had lost his marriage.
