In hindsight, I wish that I hadn’t been so scared of XW. Fear is your enemy and I know that now. It makes you weak and pathetic and supplicating and NOT at all attractive. Appeasement does nothing but help the WA to cake eat. If you stand up for yourself and DO WHAT IS RIGHT, they may get mad and throw all kinds of spew at you but they will get over it and you will be all the better because of it. We all have to get there in our own time and in our own way but that is one area I wish I would have discovered sooner for myself.
Can I get an "AMEN" from the chorus?!
You sound good, Ken. From the sound of your post, I'd suggest you should begin posting in "Divorced, but Not Done," but I could be wrong.
