My approach with the OM is to not give him the benefit of any lip service...he is not worth my time. I have to admit I have failed at this twice over the past 4 months, once just a couple of weeks ago with the holiday discovery. This was a huge mistake. I re-inforced all of his good qualities and all of my bad ones... I am still pissed at myself for this.
It is amusing in a way; I am supposed to give the impression I do not give a crap about the OM yet my current actions are limiting family time becuase of him so, obviously I am broadcasting that I do give a crap. I guess I could say that I do not really give a crap yet I have moral issues with what he represents...how weak is that?
