Good morning gentlemen ... well, gentlemAn and Grit ...
Yes, Lance, you're right ... not detached enough. Let my guard down being away for a week and engaged because I was tired and let my emotions get the best of me. I've let myself get lulled into a false sense of "friendship" on a few occasions and I did it again. Time to put my list into action and get to gettin' (nickle Brooklyn).
Believe it or not, I also showed a great deal of restraint and managed, thanks to Eric, Missher and CD Bear's support (and my sister too!) to NOT do all kinds of things I WANTED to do ... like call her, like tell him off, like tell the kids nasty things ... blah, blah, blah.
I was much better by the time I went to bed (geez Grit, cut a girl some slack, that was a LONG drive!) and I'm in a good place today.
Eric: Thank you. I know you GET me and understand the anger, helping me walk through it was invaluable. Oh, and thanks for throwing some of that lumber back my way You are right, I need darkness, being "friends" is hurting my abiity to detach. Thanks for checking on me.
Missher: Your "scripts" are exactly what I needed. You, my friend, are in the wrong business ... just sayin'. And the gentle 2x4s ... needed those too.
CD Bear: Thanks dude, needed the rant to release the anger, thanks for the ear and the lumber!
