Anger diminishes with time. I went to a friends house last night, whole family and extended family was there. Seeing the love, and lack of dysfunction made me realize how much dysfunction there was in STBX's family. A large part of our issues were the result of her issues with her father and his wife and in laws.

She never felt accepted, had low self esteem, and they were of the judgemental.

So, when I was unable to be the 'balance' in her emotions no wonder she ran away.

That doesn't make it ok. It just means I understand.

I'm moving on.
