Happy Thanksgiving, Eric. And thank you for your post on my Board. I left you a return msg. there.
My thoughts on the anger. I think the anger is that they feel anyone who isn't "with" them is "against" them. It's a common enough human emotion, and we're all very jealous of our parents. I know my D24 didn't like that I invited her H to our Halloween Party. I told her she was divorcing him, not me.
Hope everything went good for you today. My "dead-marriage walking" should be coming up pretty soon, as well.
