Mandy, You are far more better than your ex and his wifey. You are a lady of class and I have to say, your response to auntie was spot on.
Enjoy the holidays w/family and friends, for they are the ones who are there for you these days.
Merry Christmas to you and your son. May the new year be a more promising one for you.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
