know that the estranged ex was on sounder financial footing. Selfishly because there's a provision in California law that could conceivably permit the state to come after me should she happen to become a burden upon the public treasury; selflessly because I do not wish her ill. This emotional spectrum grades back into selfishness as it progresses, because again I resentfully after all these years do not wish indecent prosperity upon her.
cordially,
