Good morning!

Feeling a bit more myself this morning. The birds of the area may feel free to tweet away.

We seem to have escaped the worst of the storm. I hope others do as well.

The abuse stories were brief. Physical to the 3 girls, emotional and verbal to all 4.

H uses the phrase "clean slate". Says he told his S to do like he did and just start with a "clean slate" with their parents.

He touched a little bit on the stories of FILs As, but I am not about to get into a discussion about As with H. I can't keep my cool on that topic. This leads to him saying "What is wrong with you!! You have a problem!!"

And it is a big problem to me. Very very big and huge and insurmountable. "Deal breaker" in the lingo of the day.

If I were to continue M, it would have to be a big deal to H as well. Not something to be swept under the rug, not something to pretend never happened - and start with a "clean slate".

Ok, can't go down that road right now, I have stuff to do.

There's a car festival in my little town tomorrow. Idk if I'll have company to attend, but am planning on going anyway. Am still exploring school options, am looking at one that is closer now, trying to figure out finances. With H missing so much time from work lately things are extra tight. I'm trying to get back to BioLife because that extra bit helps. At least with track over I won't be missing work so my checks will go back to normal. And of course, there's always the court money lol.

H has texted that S162 (the one in FL) "has made facebook social news". I have no idea what this means. Am going to wake up S20 so he can explain. Lol, I feel so old!!

Have a great day DBers!!

Cheers smile

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow.
What you stop.
And what you reinforce.
