I am finding a lot of peace now being on my own and making new friends and getting new hobbies and activies and I am sick of the pain. Maybe I am just doing the ultimate LRT. Where you really go on with life and stop worrying if they will ever turn around.
I put my book away on the shelf and I'm not going to keep trying to "win" her back. As far as I'm concerned she doesn't exist in my new life and is just a babysitter. I will treat her with the same respect I would anyone but I will not bend over backwards to her every whim or be a doormat to her rude and mean behavior.
Sounds to me, EG, that like our friend Smiley this week, you're finally at the place you need to be.
