Pls help--confused and fearful

[Day by Day]

Okay, hit me with a 2x4... I did reply about the personal stuff. Told him I did okay with my half marathon and I told him I hope he got better from his cold. I was afraid that by being unresponsive I'd give him more reasons to criticize me. So I thought I'd respond as if he were my friend.

Now in hindsight, I feel maybe he was testing to see if I had moved on.

Oh, and he told the kids that he is working on our sitch. Baloney, and they called him on it. He said it's harder than they think. Still a liar.
