The problem is if you forget the past, you sanction what they have done. Everyone needs to work out where the future lies, but if you give an inch, this lot will push you to the next lowest level. That is the psychology of their game because they rely on having the upper hand and whilst they control the funds, they effectively do have control.
In the meantime, their game is being undermined by so called business partners who will do both lots over if it suits their purpose and they have much deeper pockets.
Sadly, there are no winners except for the business partners while the family jewels are being sold off.
