Can you imagine how much they will gloat and I will undoubtedly get I told you so's and telling me yet again how bad he was for me. I may have stood down from this m, but we're still friends and it still hurts when they talk about my H like they do. You can't dismiss 21 years of M in a blink of an eye.
Wise words, TTD! It's funny (or maybe sad) but the first thing that overwhelmed me when M 1 failed and then both crises with M 2, was that I felt embarrassed for failing. Isn't that silly? Especially given the D rate - even in my family, it's about to become 100% for me and my siblings (3x for my bro!) - although my poor long-suffering sister is getting dumped by her alcoholic husband she should have left years ago.
