Thank you all so much for the encouragement! There were so many things I wanted to say to the "lots of changes, all good" comment. Like "oh, so kicking me out of your life was good?" OR "What changes?" The first response being born out of anger the second pure curiosity. I have to confess I am curious and if he remembers anything about me, he'll know that!
But I didn't respond with anger, after all what would be the point? He won't get it. And as much as I am itching to know these changes, a part of me still feels like I have gone through enough of this dance - if he has something to tell me, especially after NC for four months, spit it out.
He tried to yank my chain again with the life is challenging comment. I still wanted to bite since I had no idea what he meant. But I thought I'd send a picture of the cat - who, Snodderly thinks she owns ME - and now, that is that. No drama and now I can turn my attention back to my life and getting some of that To Do List completed.
Snodderly, you gave him a lot more credit for introspection than I did. My first thought was that he was finding being a substitute step dad challenging. In normal circumstances, I would note believe that an ex would contact after all this time to tell me news like married, pregnant or co-habitating but this MLC and so unpredictable. Why dig me up, he already left! I like your interpretation much, much better!
Bright, I liked your quote:
Quote:
“Never chase love, affection, or attention. If it isn't given freely by another person, it isn't worth having.”
That is a good thing to remember.
A little bit of drama to start the week. But must return to work!
- and now, that is that. No drama and now I can turn my attention back to my life and getting some of that To Do List completed.
