Althea, CNMN, Barb, I'm giving you all a standing ovation!!!
I sucked at DBing!!! I could not be a doormat and validate, agree, act as if. Yes, it was such a painful time, but, I never bought into the MLC as an excuse for bad behavior. Like Althea said, I felt like I had a MLC at one time also. However, I didn't lie, sneak and cheat. I changed my hair, started working out and bought a bunch of new clothes, for crying out loud!!!
Yes, what's happening on the MLC board is awful. Anyone thinking they're done "standing" gets hit with multiple 2x4's. Thing is, we all need to "stand" for ourselves and our kids.
