Punkin, Amen sistuh!!!!!!!!!!! I imagine that you are VERY self-sufficient having kept the home fires burning all these years. I too am quite self-sufficient. I made the conscious decision in my 20s to be that way when I had to D my 1st H because he was physically violent to me (supported him through med school). Hence my M.O. to distance in Rs. Keeping in touch with XH and his family has been a big 180 for me for that reason, but I also think I need to set a boundary with him at this point since I have been putting the lion's share of the work on our current R.

Cas, sorry for highjacking above. Didn't realize you'd been at this for 3 years. You seem to have some peace at the moment. What's your secret?
