Hi.
Ant, I was gonna PM you but then decided that if you’re not amongst friends here; you’ve no friends at all.
And I thought that under the circumstances more heads are better than one (okay, 2 if you count mine).
joking aside; what would happen if you just relocated to someplace else?
I don’t know your situation but it sounds like that might be the best idea – I mean, what a shitty deal, they take everything …. including the next 12 years of your life?
I would have little trouble leaving a place that was willing to do that to me over the situation you find yourself in.
perhaps I misunderstood though.
I truly feel for you and wish I had more to offer.
After reading all posts I decided that was the one path nobody had mentioned, so I thought I’d bring it up.
i hope all comes out as well as can be expected for you.
