After Exposure - Keep It Going

[Quicksilver264]

Q : How long did you stand there and take that brow beating from those two?

About 15 minutes. They came at me pretty hard, but I just stood there like a ROCK, like I had NO EMOTION and listened what they had to say. I stood up for myself when necessary, and DID NOT BACK DOWN. Her mom was more furious than I have EVER seen in 9 years.

I just let it all bounce off my suit or armor. I was damn near indestructible.

Did you yell back or just let it slide off?

I told them that I just did not want to see her anymore, and to please respect my space and allow me to move on. I did NOT raise my voice ONCE.

But her mom said "Now I am seeing what she must have seen all these years. You are a taker and not a giver, and you don't even consider her in your actions".

And they also said "you can't move on until you buy her out or sell this house. And sign the divorce papers. You will be tied to her as long as those things still need to be done".

What did you tell them if anything?

I told them that I was working on solutions for myself about the house, and that I'm sorry if my decisions hurt them, but I am looking out for me and my home.


They both keep telling me that I don't "make sense" when I say I want to be "done", but still want to be in the house.

I WANT to stay in this gorgeous home. I don't have the pay right now to refinance and buy her out. I was FORCED into this divorce. Therefore, I will take steps to protect my home and that allow me time to find a better job in order to keep the house. Her decision was to move out, and I cannot control that. But I can control me finding a new job, stepping up, and doing what I feel is best for me.
