Need some help with multibit wallet

Hi all,

I’m having big problems with my multibit HD wallet.  I use it a lot and have it often open for long times.
I’ve seen the same with multibit classic, it works like a charm but after a while an unconfirmed transaction gets stuck andit makes the entire app useless.

So here’s what happened and what i tried:

- Send a transaction and didn’t confirm
- Found out from merchant fee was’t high enough

-Send out another transaction with higher fee, worked
-had some unconfirmed balance and coins from first unconfirmed transaction didn’t reappear.

-send out another transaction, with 80000 satoshi’s as fee, didn’t work

-send out too more with increasing fees, also got stuck

-started stressing out why i couln’t send any bitcoins anymore
-installed electrum and used “empty wallet” in multibit with fee over 100000, didn’t work

-in electrum i used “child to parent fee” and it costed me 57$ but this confirmed the transaction coming from the “empty wallet”-transaction in mutibit.

-A lot of bitcoins vaporised and are still stuck in multibit, the transactions don’t confirm

-every time i use “repair wallet” it seems as if the last transaction that were made are the stucked onces, see screenshot.  I’ve made these transactions over a couple of days, but after “repair wallet”, they are shown as “today”.
-I’ve restored from wallet words, same story

-i’ve installed on 3 different computers and each time i recover from wallet words i see different numbers with the stuck transactions.  Like they randomly appear.
-I estimate i have a little less than 0.2 BTC stuck in uncofirmed transactions.
_it all started with a low fee transaction but i have been using the same fee since i downloaded mulitbit.
-I think the first unconfirmed transaction that started this bug was about a week ago, on 15/05

If anybody could help me investigate this please send a PM, i can give you the wallet and it can get burned.  I've already recovered most of it, but i still have some stuck transactions.
And while we"re at it...i still have a multibit wallet from around 2012-13, it had the same problem.  I have one wallet file which is 2 MB, which means it still has private keys right?
Multibit HD really failed me over & over again, i hope electrum is better now, i remember checking it out years ago and back then it wasn't stable so i chose multibit, but now i noticed it evolved much more than multibit did.
Either someone helps me recover the stuck transactions or i lose the coins, i've treid so many things, i can't fix it....I've send emails to multibit support but not a single reply.
If you're interested please PM me.
