Closure


Closure: the feeling that one's prolonged state of emotional distress over some traumatic experience or situation has finally ended

Most of you know already about Damons death 5 and a half yrs ago. Some of you know the struggles and fights we have been going through since then. For those who don't, here is a shortened condensed version, because it will take way too long to type the whole story.
When Damon died he was in a relationship with the mother of his two youngest sons. And I say in a relationship very lightly. He did not live with her, she did not live with him, he did not consider her his wife, he did not even claim her as his girlfriend, she was just the mother of his youngest two with who he had relations with when he was lonely. That is the nicest way to write it. He also had relations with several other women too. That was Damon, he was a slut, and would admit it proudly.
After Damon died, this woman tried to claim herself as Damons common law wife. She got all of Damons belongings into her possesion, we recieved nothing. Damons oldest son does not own one single item of his daddys. This woman teased and taunted a child with the fact that she had his daddys things and he didn't. I am going to stop now because I will wind up saying things that will probably get me banned from this site or something.
Anyways, there are several lawsuits going on right now concerning how Damon died and the wrongdoings of people who were supposed to be in charge. IF this woman was proved to be his wife, then she would get a huge part of the boys share of the money, which will not be a lot anyways. She had already been drawing a check off of him for a while which cut into the boys share.
While she was claiming to be his wife to the court, she forgot about the fact that she was in public assistance housing for the last ten yrs and drawing food stamps and everything else and never once claimed Damon as a husband on any of those papers.
Well, today was the court over the common law wife issue. The judge sided with us and we won. She is not his wife in any shape or form, which we already knew. Any money that is received now will be divided between the three boys, which is how it should be. The $19,000 that she drew off of Damon she now has to pay back to the estate, which belongs to the boys.
So, today I feel like we finally have closure. We have finally been able to give our last gift to Damon, and that was to make sure his boys got what was rightfully theirs. I hope that now maybe we can truly move on and look more on the positive things about Damon, instead of constantly having this looming over us.
So, with all of that said....... Damon, may you truly Rest in Peace now. I love you .....Later.
