Hi Antlers-

The cursing on the text messages has stopped. The e-mail she sent you back is very civil. I don't detect any hostility in it at all. That's happening!

I know you've followed my sitch, and it's taken a very bad turn, but if this helps you at all, the work I've done on myself is paying off in a big way. I'm hurting some yes, but I feel good about myself, and I know I'll be okay. DBing is really the art of healing yourself, making yourself a better person, and leaving the door open for your wayward spouse to walk back through if they so choose. The first two things are yours to keep, regardless if the third ends up bearing fruit.
