Thanks. I felt better after the smoke cleared. You were right frank - healthy boundaries are a good thing.
Rob - Good advice - I intent to GUT the place
LeighS - thanks for stopping by. It took me two years to learn what NOT to do.
WCW - sorry the Giants won but what a game! My first Super Bowl in many years. I shared it with S10 who went for New England. I really don't care who even played but I told my son I would go with the underdog (the Giants). He asked what an underdog was and I told him.
I recall when I was 10 I asked my Godfather what an Underdog was too. He always went with the underdog.
So we shared a life lesson. All xW walk away and divorce crap could not prevent me from having that moment with my son. Priceless.
Great weekend: went to lunch and shopping Sat and Super Bowl Sunday. Saw my mom today as well - played bingo (remember she is 90 so bingo is a main thing). Picked up paint swatches for my house at some stores. Blue for S10 and light purple for D6. Made hot wings for the game but son said not hot enough. We studied for his test and shared life. D6 was not all that interested in the game but she watched too.
Got several emails from Ex. No mention of the baseball thing. I guess she backed off as she normally does when she crosses the line. The emails required no action - they were status reports of her new house and clearing out of my house. She did remind me of S10's test, like I did not know - I let that slide.
So, great weekend and I feel better overall. She will continue to press my button but the button will only cause a reaction if I let it.
I am a man of Strength and Honor. Period. I have no room for buttons or holes in my boundaries. I will try my best to remember that.
