Jeannine, so sorry!

All I can say is that the unexpected cruelties, and the treatment as you suffered counts as such, are painful, baffling, disheartening...but I think we've all had a taste of them.

Try not to take it personally...ha! But really, it was all about HIS broken car, HIS messed up schedule, HIS inconvenience, HIS anger, HIS frustration....you just happened to be in the vicinity.

Is that fair? Considerate? Loving? NO! ...But it happens, and it hurts. You did well. I would have been sorely tempted to offer a very sarcastic..."Well YOU'RE WELCOME! "....pretty sure THAT wouldn't help anything.

I tried to face CJ's coldness, dismissiveness, inconsideration as bravely as I could. I put on a bit of an act, sometimes I'm sure he KNEW I was hurt...but I didn't resort to "old tacticts" that would have confirmed his already negative view of me!

I think this helped confirm for him, if only in retrospect, that I was changing, and for the better.

May tomorrow be a better day!
