I hope that was a type of closure for you. Maybe that was why you felt free b/c you got all that stuff off your chest.

I have learned that as surprising as it always seems to be....there are a lot of people who simply do not see themselves being selfish and self-centered. Everything is always about "them" and they can take something a person says and completely turn it around as to how they interpret it. So, some people apparently don't have the ability to see how their behavior appears......and some just don't care. They are selfish and will continue to be that way until the day they die.

A lot of things about our laws have not caught up with the times, yet....regarding protection of the women....as you were explaining. On the other hand.....so many daddys are getting custody of the children these days....and it use to almost be unheard of, so I think you would stand a good chance. At least your boys would know you fought for them.

I'll be anxious to hear how things go.

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
