I had avery similar experience to yours several years back. I understand the wide range of emotions you are experiencing. All at once. You never could have convinced me this was in my best interest. But 2 years later she started having medical problems, including cancer, and she ran up some horrendous medical bills that would have bankrupted me. Then she died whch would have been another $10-12,000. Since she had taken back her maiden name, this entire burden fell on her parents instead of me. Then I found I could start drawing her social security two years earlier than I could my own. So now mine is continuing to mature. That bitch really did me one hell of a favor by doing what she did. I hope you have a similar experience.
