Hi all,
well we are still waiting for the letter from MCRS to explain the payout better; due to Alex talking to them by himself I am unsure exactly what is involved, but this letter should clear a few things up.

As I said, we will not be accepting any payment that will be 'unfair' to us and our future. I guess I will just have to keep waiting for this letter... if it ever comes.

Thanks Kathy for explaining how Evie may perceive such comments. I know that Alex believes that I am 'pressuring' him whenever I speak to him about working in the future. Sometimes he even gets angry about it! But honestly I am not trying to pressure him, I just don't want him to feel as though he is less of a man because he cannot work right now. I do agree with his solicitor though that he does have to believe he will one day work again or he will be stuck in a rut he simply cannot work his way out of.

Thanks again everyone for the support and the encouragement.
Tammy
