It's taking a toll on me but something must be taking a toll on them as well. He didn't say I owed her an apology but I owed HIM an apology. X did make excuse of "He's just trying to protect me." On the phone she then went on to say just thinking about being arrested (cuffed, removed from property, given a citation and released) back in the fall was stressing her out, she developed a fear of the police, etc.
My only concern is the kids (who blame me for EVERYTHING)but this has given me some small insight to the stress X has caused for herself and them by the whole unnecessary mess.


"The answers are within you" (can't remember who). Unfortunately, so is the bullshit.
