He turned the eleven appointments where I was looked after into the thing that took my clinics away.
What Rhett did afterwards.
He has not apologised and he is not going to and I have stopped waiting for the scene where he does.
The complaint is not in itself a criminal matter and nobody is going to prosecute him for it, which took me about four months to accept.
What has actually happened to him is civil and slow and boring and extremely effective.
The settlement went. The house is going. There is a costs order against him from the February that he cannot pay, and a second claim that Hollis says will be listed next year.
He has moved to Brackwater and is living in a rented flat with Yvie and that boy, and I know those facts only because they are in the papers.
And the thing I have had to make peace with is that he is forty-two, and he is not going to look at any of this and understand it. He is going to understand it as a thing that was done to him.
