Have to prepare for the $hit storm I will no doubt face when I tell WW I called the family friends. Oh well, she cannot think that I can't call friends without her permission. This backbone I have been growing feels ... well, weird.
Yeah, it's a good feeling, ain't it?
Just tell her "You don't get to dictate how I choose to deal with the pain you've caused me," and
"I will do whatever I feel I need to do to protect myself and my family."
