yes, NLW, you handled it with class. let that image stay with H and OW.
NG, What you said was incredibly helpful to me.
I seem to need to have mantras or mind images that i can draw on in times of panic/fear.
The notion that H and OW didn't get what they wanted out of me by way of reaction, and that they now have to deal with an alternate image of me being detached/non-reactive, is great for my self-esteem.
I can imagine how confirming it would have been for them if i'd gotten out of the car and given them a mouthful.... What a POS I would have been to them. Here's the maniac again, poor STBX. She really is a bi_ch...etc.
