Fire's burning out...just smoldering

[S.T. _I Made It!]

"BIL said that he is always like that. He's mean to everyone."

so remember this, it is not all about you. He is being evil because his life sucks and he takes it out on everyone. you just happen to be the easiest person to blame. If he blames it on OW, well then he's admitting he really screwed up. If he blames it on you, then he did the right thing to leave you.

anyways, because of how gracefully you are thru this, I still believe that someday you are going to be that light for him. And I only say this for K's sake. meaning, if you didn't have her, I would say there is no reason for any contact with him, but because of her, he will be in your life forever, and K needs you to facilitate her R with him as she grows up.

because you will always be in HIS life, I believe you can be an impact. It will not be immediate or soon because of this character flaw is so embedded in him. I agree that his mother created a monster, accidently of course, but nonetheless a monster for now. If you do the opposite of what everyone else does to him normally, I believe eventually (and it could be years ) he will gravitate towards you and show you respect and hopefully realize this has always been his problem. But, of course that's just an opinion, only God knows the future.

anyways, your doing good, and the party sounds like it was great!
