Punkin, I was thinking about you a couple of days ago and hoping you were OK. So glad you are back, although a bit of me thought, "has she met the man of her dreams and gone off round the world on a whim?'

As to xh's meanness. Well my therapist friend says these people know they have made a horrible mistake, and they are angry with us as the architect of all that is wrong in their lives. Yes, it isn't rational, but because we are so much in their thoughts they dump it all onto us The knife incident is typical. He 'needs' to feel angry at something or someone, and the smallest thing gives him the 'excuse' to project it. Also they cannot admit they were wrong about anything so they spend their lives constructing reasons why it was right to leave us. I mean gosh, Punkin, you should have Known about that knife, if you had been a half way OK person
