I had a whole long post typed but the internet ate it!
Anyway I just wanted you to know I hear you, maybell.
I hope you can work towards letting go of this anger and resentment you have. Ya who cares about STBX - but it's affecting YOU.
I know I'm in a different place than you are but it saddens me to read how frustrated and angry you sound. I can't imagine it's not radiating off of you.
If you were reading this post from someone you admired, what advice would you give them?
I get it, there's no hope for your M, you want to move on. This is directed at saving yourself from this terrible distaste your STBX leaves with you.
