Just stopping by to say hi. You make a lot of sense, to me!
Seems like we are in similar time-lines in our types of reactions, though mine has been out of the house since last summer.
I was especially struck by the line above, about the cop who left his "crazy" wife. I think alot of them try to tell others that their wives were crazy, so they had to leave. Mine did. But not very many people ended up believing him, because I'm so totally not!
Though his family ironically did, he campaigned them for the last few years, I guess to try to get more attention or sympathy or something. Mine even went to see a D lawyer a couple of years ago that specializes in getting your spouse labelled as crazy so you can take the kids. They turned him away. I hate him for that. The more time that passes, the more I see just how awful he has been. Yuck.
