Yeah. That you were basically a chicken. I wonder why extending the olive branch and doing the right thing is so hard for us, just to merely take into consideration another's feelings...we basically suck at that. How pitiful is it we have to LEARN this?
Well, it's hard in my case because SHE has done so much damage to our family in her repeated quests to 'be happy' because I wasn't making her happy. She is no 'matriarch' for this family, just one of the teenagers it seems.
I try to extend the olive branch but then I keep saying 'wait a minute, I never did to her what she has done to me'.
So I question why I should try, why I should care. Her Stepmom said to me "Why would you take her back and possibly put your kids through this a 4th time?" Well, I don't know why.
I'll keep offering the olive branches, and I'll keep looking forward.
