I don't know how you do it... you are a strong woman. You handled the Subway stop and the nighttime drop-by amazingly.
Dan & my XH sound a LOT a like.. I suppose it's the Iowa cattleman/farmer thing.
if it is healthy for you that he does that (drops by pretty much on a 2 second notice) then fine. If it's not, then create a boundary.
Yeah, when reality hits them in the face (as the fishing scenario did for Dan) for a split second I think they can see what they did for what it was and the consequences.... and they can't handle the shame.
You sound good...hope you are staying dry? Peace Bridge
