...Do I still have what I need despite what I have to give to her for no good reason?" The answer, in my case, as I suspect it is in yours was, "Yes, I am very fortunate." Answer the question and then give yourself a break - stop picking at it.

Yes, if you can live with the status quo, and the court's tyranny ultimately has left you with sufficient funds to be comfortable and happy, then by all means be so and "stop picking at it". Live your life; be productive, happy and get on in the world!
But please, based on the hell you have been through, do not forget about your brothers who, because they may not be as fortunate in the first place as you were, may be suffering intolerable, agonizing financial and emotional pain, at the mercy of the same laws and anti-male bias in the courts which you had to face.
Now that you know how bad it can be, don't simply "wish to forget about it all", as the majority do after it is past them, but instead do all you can to help other men in this situation. Remain active in mens' and Fathers' support groups, and contribute to them as much as you can, both financially and in voluntary help. The satisfaction you will receive will be well worth the effort!
