And strangely, I feel resentment that I have CHOSEN to validate and support him even at his nastiest and craziest, and have CHOSEN, like you, to provide him with the same safe place you strive to give to your W
I don't think it's strange to feel resentment. I think it's human. But as those famous guys often say, "Do unto ALL others, as you would have done onto you."
I think the LBS gets so caught up in their WAS/MLCer's conduct, they forget that it is good practice to be nice, encouraging, validating, being a safe place, for anyone. Regardless. And that includes the WAS/MLCer.
Choosing to be the way we are choosing to be specifically FOR the WAS/MLCer or excluding the WAS/MLCer... is time to question what we are doing and why.
