FM, it's always good to hear from you! You're right; I do have a choice and I am choosing to try to salvage my M and, eventually, make it better than it was before. I'm not getting any cooperation. I will keep trying without being pushed around and taken advantage of. The disrespect is really getting hard to take. The grunts, no talking, NO communication, etc. I can't make her talk to me, nor do I try. I have to continually choose to ignore her petty behavior as long as she is respecting the boundaries that have been laid out. For the past month, maybe a little longer, she has been. No staying out late, letting me know where she is going, etc. We'll see how much longer I can give it.
SS2-thanks for stopping by. I hope you are doing okay. Please listen and heed all the great advice that you are being given and save yourself some of this heartache. I wish I would have been a quicker study.
LSG-you have come such a long way and I'm very proud of you. Keep up the good work! I get the feeling I will be exactly where you are very soon. I'm scared but somehow okay with it at the same time. I will keep on trying to do what's best for my family.
