Dawn, when I first got the bomb, I made myself some promises and then I made a roadmap.
They helped me to stay the course I had decided for myself.
The way I came to make this roadmap and those promises was how I wanted to see things and myself when I looked back on this time in my life.
So, I decided that above everything else, I wanted to stay true to myself regardless of the sitch, what my xh was doing and what others might think.
That meant this for me - I did not want to do anything to hinder the relationship between my son and his father, I wanted to keep my moral compass intact, I wanted to act with dignity and honor.
I did not allow what others thought or said to veer me off the road.
I kept my promises and I am glad I did.
I want to say to you that you should never apologize for being angry on here. That's what this place is for. It is a safe place to get your feelings out.
You are a strong, compassionate woman. You do what you think is best for you, as long as it is not to your detriment, as long as it doesnt affect your heart.
I dont know what your h's agenda is. I do know that those in MLC will do whatever it takes to satisfy their needs.
You have the power here, Dawn. I understand compassion. I also understand how someone can take advantage of that.
