anxiety attack

I don't disagree that taking the high road is usually the right thing to do. I have taken the high road most of the time. If I choose to engage, she will come back twice as mean. It is no different from when we were married. She would yell, I would placate because I knew if I spoke my mind, she would just come back harder...

With that said, I think there is some therapy somewhere in here if "WE(all of us in this thread)" finally say our opinions without fear of retribution. i have lived in fear the last 3 years of her taking the kids away, asking for more money, etc....Well, hopefully in a couple days, I don't have to be afraid anymore. I am sure as you all have demonstrated, that the craziness doesn't end after the divorce and that you end up having to still be the bigger person in most discussions...

I know I will end up doing that more often than not, however, I am not standing down anymore with her. The kids are completely oblivous to any of our discussions. That is one area we do well in is how we handle issues with our sons.

Donna--I am glad to hear you are doing better. I was good for along time and imploded myself back in March. Doing much better now...
