Words cannot express the depth of my heart felt gratitude for all you have done for me and my family. These Orders have given us, but especially me, the greatest gift of freedom and peace. Knowing that I can finally close this door, leaving all the pain and stress behind me and begin to build a new life without any regrets is the greatest gift of all.  As you said, it may not have been the biggest amount of money that I may have gotten if I had chosen to proceed with the gamble of selling the business, but the reality is, no amount of money could ever make up for all the damage he has caused.  I now have what I needed most and that is to be free from him and everything to do with him, but it does bring a smile to my face knowing that for the next three years, twice a month, he has to pay me. (You will be the first to know if he chooses not to comply with the Orders!)

So again, Lotta, thank you for all of your steadfast advice and support throughout this horrible process. I know it wasn't easy for you either; as I could tell there were times when he really tested your boundaries but you never faltered. 

As Mum and I start to rebuild our lives again, we have put a deposit on a new house that meets all of our criteria and more, in a little country town...  We will be returning to the state that we spent the longest time in when I was growing up and we still have many friends around the area. It felt like we were "home" when we went up for the holidays. We even got 4 inches of snow! It was beautiful!

All the best to you in your future and kindest regards.

It was a great result and my sincere thanks to all, particularly Lotta who was a great support and guidance throughout yesterday's mediation.

Lotta, a special thank you for breaking down/simplifying dialogue, instructions and financial matters that my often hazy and emotional brain could rationalize.
