From Survivng to Thriving & backslides in between.

If it makes you feel better, I know exactly how you feel

I got to thinking.....I really think the biggest hurdle to my healing was him NOT GOING QUIETLY.

Had he gone QUIETLY and hadn't of insisted on trying to act like best friends, then treat me like the enemy time and time again, I think i would've healed much quicker.

YES! I almost jumped out of my chair and spilled my drink when I read this. I said the same thing a while back. It would be easier. I also realized something that was said "...won't stop until there is six feet of dirt between you." That rings true in my case, and likely in yours.

Like you, I have received emails from my ex recently. On the surface, no big deal. Just business. But not really. It's more like she is looking for an excuse to make sure I don't forget she's there. I doubt it's a conscious act. But I've received an email at the beginning of the week for more than 8 weeks now. I almost always ignore them unless action is required. This is from a woman who said she, "doesn't care to share" and wants "..to be a single parent.." and wants nothing to do with me. I've been accused of being narcissistic, bipolar, and of not having a shred of decency. All that without saying anything

I feel ya sister! It would have been much better had she gone away like she said she wanted to. And gone quietly. But that's not apparently how this works I think.

Try to be nice and respectful, but I see little reason to respond if you can help it. It just puts you back in the drama.
