Starting on a different path

[Mystik]

Abs ~ He already knew about the panic attack, he heard me on the phone that night with my teeth chattering. And I sure as heck am doing my best to not let him off the hook for what he's done, what he's doing. I know I need to drop the rope, working on how to do that without giving up all hope. It's like in my head dropping the rope means giving up all hope, the two are intertwined.

V ~ I am trying to shut him down as much as possible. I try to interact with him as little as I can with a shared child. And I keep a business-like tone in our interactions.
