I believe the EA never went physical. However the OM messaged me this morning, first thing. Since I know him and we helped him out a LOT I felt very betrayed on both counts.

I just get confused with the 180 strategies, I mean if someone is telling you how you treated them and you do a 180 opposite of that, it's really not what they expect. I am working on myself, I've got a lot of homework from my counselor.

She's cordial to me, polite even. In fact she just left after collecting a few things with our daughter. I'm not trying to turn her off at all, in fact lighting her fire is what I'm after.
