I'm sad Bernal is gone. His grammar and spelling errors in court documents were a thing of legend.
Plus the waiting sucks. It even grinds me down, and it has nothing to do with me. Imagine poor Ioan. And the prolonged hell the girls are kept in my Alice and the court.
I believe Ioan has done waiting. He and Bianca live a full life. Naturally, Ioan is doing what he can to rescue his girls and help them. He has a team of experienced, solid professionals. He has acted wisely and with caution.
By now Ioan has likely stopped harbouring any illusions and hopes that Alice loves her daughters and would be reasonable. I bet Ioan can draft the best Alice in court or what will Alice do Bingo cards as she is so predictable and at last, Ioan can see her clearly.
While Ioan is playing high level chess, Alice is stuck playing whack-a-mole.
Alice is pretty much out of moves, has painted herself in the corner. Her life is on hold, she has no life to speak of. Every day is the same, likely in haze and spent online running hundreds of socks. Whatever she does, she makes her situation worse. There are several swords hanging over her head and pretending these do not exist, will not make any difference.
Luckily, Ioan does not have to sit and wait, his attention is no longer on Alice. She has no power over him, she is more akin to annoying mosquito. Ioan has taken his power back.
Speaking in Alice's language with her zero-sum mentality: Ioan has already won and Alice is the loser she has always been.

Oooooooh, so it's about Mrs Wallace being killed! I'm actually really shocked that he would post something so offensive and threatening. It's amazing how this pair still have the power to shock, I've literally never known anyone like them.
I still do not think there is a pair of them. I believe it is all Alice (screeching into void, as lonely as her single remaining braincell). Hence Tonely.
