Oh sweetie, I want you to listen to me. It doesnt really matter who you were then. It is who you are now that matters most.
And you know what you are. A loving mother, great friend, wonderful daughter, And you were a loyal. devoted wife.
You were with him a long time, IB. You surely can see that he is in crisis. It is sad. But really, I dont care about him. He could blow in the wind. He has to figure this out for himself.
Please dont let this knock you off your journey. You have come so far.
Clearly he is desperate because you see, he is still not happy. For him to have to go on like that to your son, it is plain to see.
IB, what you are doing is becoming the person you were meant to be. Sometimes the road is rocky. We stumble a bit. But eventually, we find out footing again. And you will, too.
IB, your xh was involved in some pretty heavy stuff. If you really think about it, you will see that he has some very deep problems. He is trying everyway to fill a hole. But until he looks inside, he never will.
I think you handled it well with your son. I wouldnt bring it up again.
If there is no way around seeing the ow, please make sure you get yourself to a place of strength.
And then, look great and walk tall and act like the strong woman you have become.
