I have been waiting since 2008 to give you all an update on this post So I had three Very Big Bad Things Going on in December 2008, all of which could have destroyed me financially. The good news is none of them destroyed me.→[More:]

The first one was relatively easy to resolve, with a few lawyers, and moderate stress to me over about two years.

The second one was harder to resolve, I got a little screwed, lawyers and some doctors were involved, but it got resolved in about two years, and I met some nice folks along the way.

The third one got resolved tonight, I got royally screwed, a class action lawsuit and tons of lawyers were involved, it would shake my faith in our justice system if I didn't already know how this stuff works, but in the end, I'll be ok, if quite a bit poorer.

But throughout it all, you guys have been here with spare whuffles, hugs, and countless laughs on gloomy days, so I think I came out a big winner in the end. Thanks, guys!

Yay for making it through to the end!

Way to be. What doesn't destroy you makes you stronger and all that. What's amazing is that we can endure a lot more shitty things than we think we can. And hopefully, that's the end of your list, and you can move on now to better things and hopeful skies?

That's a long long time to face that stress. It's great that you're finally on the other side. Whew!

I am so glad to hear that something you have been stressing over for FOUR YEARS has drawn to a close. May you have nothing but clear skies and peaceful sailing for a good long time.

Wow. What an ordeal.
Yes, literally what gaspode said. But it's honestly my reaction as well.
I think you should do something special to celebrate your victory over your tribulations.

How horrid that you had all that going on, and how great that you are DONE and okay. Yay!!! Perhaps a small glass of something bubbly is in order?

Hugs, and I'm so glad your ordeal is over. I've heard if you want justice, you won't find it in the law (I am inclined to agree in certain circumstances). Now you can breathe freely, and move forward!

it would shake my faith in our justice system
We don't have a justice system, we have a legal system. Anyone who confuses justice with the law hasn't been paying attention.

I'm very very glad to hear that the Bad Things are over and, if nothing else, you can now put them in the past and move on. Sometimes, that alone is enough or, if not enough, the best that you can hope for. To The Future!

Over! *phew!*

I'll be doing this in 3 months to 2 years.
Or 5 to 10.
Ah, Justice!
