I think I had a hard time trying to figure out how to stand up for myself without being cruel.
Chuckle. Cruel has nothing to do with it... just like in business... you can be friendly, but not friends. It's business. And remember, 'cruel' is often a matter of opinion... one your 2bx KNOWS will work with you... who the HE!! cares if that man sees you as cruel? He's left you and your kids high and dry. To me, that takes 'cruel' out of the equation. Why doesn't it for you?
