I think I know now why I always appeared to be so non-communicative with xW when we were married. It wasn't really passive-aggressiveness, as she accuses me of, at least not at first. Rather it was the paralysis in knowing that, with her, there was never any right answer -- any and every possible response was going to be taken wrong.
As such, then yes, Irish, I am glad I don't have to put up with that insanity all the time anymore.

Yes, I do, and I have my two S's too. First, we're going to the grand opening of the new Lego Store here in our area. S8 is a Lego maniac, and he's been anticipating this for months now.
We also have a birthday party to attend, for the son of one of my DivorceCare buddies.
And Sunday is our church's outdoor celebration of Pentecost, a big annual event. This will be the last service our minister will attend before he leaves us and moves out of state, taking up the helm of a church in Jackson, Mississippi (making this a very small world indeed.) That's going to be a bittersweet event for all of us.
I have several other things too. I was asked by my boss to have a number of project-related tasks completed this weekend, before Monday. That's going to mean some late nights working from home Saturday and Sunday. Meanwhile I've got to shepherd S8 along in completing his "term paper" this week. That's going to keep us very busy.
Too much to do and so very little time... but I always check in on my peeps here in DB.
