Matt I was thinking the same thing about my exH - he could have spoken to me like a normal adult instead of having a tantrum that accomplished nothing. The whole outcome would have been different. I don't think they're capable of thinking logical like normal adults though. What seems so simple to us just makes them angry I guess. That would mean accepting responsibility for their own actions and it is so much easier to blame the LBS. meh - who knows, just so done with the drama of it all smile Hope you're doing well - it's hard sometimes to have that control of yourself and not drop to their level. Respond not react. I'm certainly lucky that my communication with the ex is strictly text or email at this point because I know I can calm down before I respond, if I respond at all - in person it's much harder for me to control myself and what comes out of my mouth hahaha. I'm considering myself pretty lucky at this point that he left smile I know you're tired - it wears you down. Remember to shift the focus to taking care of you and the kids. I know you know because i've seen your posts to others, you're becoming a pro on this stuff, it's much easier to have insight into others sitches than your own though isn't it. Take care my friend!
