Taking A Breather
Sensing how overwhelmed I was, Greg gently suggested we step outside for a moment. On the porch, he handed me water and encouraged me to slow down and focus. He asked me to list only what we knew for certain, grounding the chaos into facts—the test, the letters, the missed meetings, and the legal hints. Greg emphasized that guessing would only muddy things further. We agreed that when we went back inside, we would ask direct questions without detours. No emotional spirals, no assumptions—just clarity and intention.

Connecting Dots About Money
Sitting on the steps, my thoughts turned sharply toward money and control. I voiced the suspicion out loud, wondering if finances were at the center of everything. Greg didn’t hesitate to agree, pointing out how often Jacob used money as leverage. We reviewed the patterns—Jacob controlling the mail, managing bills, and shutting people down before they could speak. Greg advised me to ask Roger directly whether money had ever been exchanged, without suggesting an answer. Standing up, I felt steadier. I was ready to ask the hard question and let the truth land where it may.
