MY TRAGIC WAW STORY PART V

[MrBond]

"I opted to send a sympathy card to ex-MIL."

That was definitely the right thing to do.

The whole point of DBing and making it a part of your life is that you learn how to apply the principles to ALL your interactions with people.

For example, in your response to advina, you should have validated her thoughts rather than condemning them. Can't you see that's the same pattern you had in your M? If you want to say you changed, then start acting like you've changed.

A real man (in reference to being the man that a woman would be a fool to leave), RESPECTS the opinions of others even though he may not agree with them.

You're getting there.
