It was extraordinarily liberating to have the meeting- I have been set free. I was still somewhat bound up in what I thought I still felt.

The big shock is how boring the post-MlCer is when all the anger has left them, and they haven't dealt with their issues. There is nothing there. In the end they have lost so much more than we have, and they are still trapped.

Our situations are now somewhat reversed, and it is my xh who wants some sort of a friendship. And my reluctance is not about 'punishment' I really am not sure I want him in my life except on the edge, as he is the father of our much loved children.
