Sorry about your experience. Here, Catholic or not, annulment is the only option. The complexity of laws affects people's lives.
As for my brother, the wife already signed the papers and they are waiting for the court to take action. That's where things get stuck.
Thank you! I'm not too scarred. And my ex and I can be in a room together without wanting to hurt one another. So, there is that. Isn't it always the way with government holding things up. Hope the log jam clears and they can be done with it.
