Thanks Hope!! I have had so much peace about this!! I have always worried what others will think of me if we separate--I just don't care WHAT people think anymore!! In fact, I am afraid of what they will say if I STAY with him!! I have told a couple of friends the real deal, and they have given me HELL for not leaving sooner. Yikes!
Well, we'll see if I can be "sucked back" easily--I too have a hard time remembering things as they really are. I know with THIS person, if I don't have a lot of "detachment" then I will be abused big-time. Ultimately, is this what I want?? To always fight so hard for any measure of respect and love??? I think it's too high of a price to pay for the crumbs he offers.
