I am so sorry, man. It's not fair. It's just not right.
I've had some of the same attitude from my W. It's like they think that happiness is a zero-sum game or something -- in order for the WAS to ensure their own happiness they feel they have to tear us down, the LBS, and see that we are left utterly miserable and broken. It makes no logical sense, but then they are not operating on logic -- just selfish emotions, desire and anger.
But when we DB, GAL, 180, etc., we appear to not be playing by their one-sided rules, and it makes them more angry and resentful.
It still hurts though. Believe me, I know. We put on our defense, toughen up, grin and bear it. But it still hurts.
We're in your corner, Mark. And we're praying for you.
