all I can say is that is fantastic how you did your own thing in spite of his attempts to tug at you. Can you go share some of that wisdom with my "buddy" MT over in NC. She is struggling mightily w/ breaking free and detaching at all. I think she is just plain scared. and that worsens things.
Well as fantastic as you did, I hope your w/e continues to be the same way. Be Holy!
