IB, Really, given what you're faced with so often, with those two and their "parading" at the sports events, girl that's still a punch in the gut no matter what. I applaude you being able to withstand that!
I completely understand that takes a few days to shake off. You know Im now getting all worked up because xh will be picking up the kids and taking them overnight tomorrow. Just knowing he will be in my driveway makes me uptight. Just texting my xh bothers me, especially when he's nice. You know 2 weeks ago he was so nice, it took me 2 days to calm down!
These are just buttons that we know are going to be pushed. The only thing I can think of that will help us is to avoid allowing them to push those buttons. However some button pushing just can't be avoided at times too.
