Muddle, I know I have been abusive also. Yes, I have done and said those things you mention. And yes, I get defensive as well.
I guess the bottom line here is that Ben is right, I am not detached - it's something that is hard for me to do. But I know its the only way to come out of this a better person.
I am also going to do nothing. Everything about my sitch is not up to me anymore. But I am learning how to take care of myself without focusing so much on my W.
Ben, sent you an email....
