The big thing that I see here Patti, is that you cannot decide what to do.
When some of us post strong words about setting boundaries and refusing to tolerate poor behavior, you embrace those notions. But you don't do anything about it.
When others post calm and patient words, you embrace those as well. But you continue to fuss and fret and feel agitated inside.
This unrest and sadness in you will persist until you choose a path to head down and DO IT. And that's why it must be YOUR decision, something YOU will be comfortable with.
It doesn't seem like the two of you understand each other very well. The email you shared earlier and his response to it are so incredibly disconnected that it's almost like the two of you are not even living in the same house.
Maybe you like treading water. I can't imagine it's much fun to live this way. But the answer is to make a decision.
Blessings,
