I think the point that everyone has made is quite simple. All of have a right to our own choice and our own opinion.
It is clear to me that your choice worked for you and Grit's have worked for him.
IMO - Grit has choosen not to be angry, not to hold resentment, not to have any expectations but rather to just live his life the WAY he sees fit. You have choosen the same.
Does that make you right and him wrong? I suspect not. The proof is in how BOTH of YOU move forward in YOUR lives.
One of the biggest things I have learned from these boards is that each of us must do what we feel we need to do and not based what WE do on someone else interactions, responses, or actions.
I pray that both of you may live your lives in the manner that works for each of you.
God Bless, Eric
