For me it is a bit of fear. You know how he acts when I'm nice, so if I'm not being nice, then how will he act? Good thing I'm taking the TKD. And you know lately I've been feeling like H is a little bit nutty and unstable; I think if I was dealing with somebody more together it would be less nerve-wracking. But I just have to do what is right and can't shield H in this process. I've decided if he complains about me doing this, which don't'cha think he will???? I'm going to agree with him that D is a negative and destructive process and I wasn't the one that started it (though I probably should have)! And then try to get away from H as soon as I say that. I've decided if he trys anything I'm going to call the cops too. Karen
