To little to late...

[MrBond]

As hard as it is not to think about that, you have to take care of and think of yourself and your kids.

You're just the lion protecting his territory. The OM isn't even worth your time and attention. I mean, how great can he be if he needs to take another person's W for his own ego?

Maybe you need to get a punching bag or something to get angry and focused. Get your aggression out that way and build up your confidence so you stand up to your W the next time.

I think it's important to do this now so that during the party you don't "cave". Build yourself up now and stand tall.
