The year of not my problem

Journaling:
Ah. The past. Always nice to have it crop up when you don't want it to.
Spoke to old running buddy. He really is in a lot of pain. He really does have the best of intentions. But he can hurt me if I'm not careful. I see that.
Know what though? I need to go through that. I need that last of of the pain to be exorcised. To be felt and then exorcised for good. He pointed out some inappropriate behaviors stbx had shown in the past and his part in trying to stop her. I believe him actually. Whether I should or not, I choose to.

These are her choices - not his. Now that the marriage is over, I expect that these things have to be gone over to be felt for the finality of it. And truthfully, it helps because it helps me to remember that I have to look out for my best interests.
