I will remember to give those who have been affected (in-laws, etc) at least a year to get past the initial hurt. No burnt bridges here. As time passes, and I get healthier, my anger toward my STBX will fade. I know this, because I am a Christian, and it's not my style to hold a grudge. At the end of the day, I know that I'm not perfect, and I'm comfortable in the knowledge that God doesn't make Junk. Yesterday was a really good day, after I got past the purple puddles and the phone call. Sis and I stayed up too late! I hope you have a super weekend. love, Goldey
