Kevin,

You did good. You stood up to her. Of course, she is going to get mad and angry, she is going to say mean and hurtful things to you. But that's when you have to be a cool customer,just listen to her, validate and listen again. I've had these talks with my W. And each time she gets mad, she goes off on another subject, not about the kids but about her, my past. She just wants to tick you off, to get you upset, to see the old Kevin.


Keep doing what you're doing. Right now, if she losses her job, who cares. You got one and that's all that matters. If she is getting hit on by other guys...WHO FRIGGIN CARES!!! Not yelling at you but your W. She sounds as if she is trying to make you feel guilty or jealous.

Don't buy into it, like water on a ducks back...let it roll off.

Great stuff you're posting ABOUT YOU! It's about time!
