Difrent's Detachment - Attempts at It, Anyway

[DifRent]

Thanks for the affirmation, Wonka. I had dinner tonight with some friends, a married and committed lesbian couple, one of whom was the attorney who prepared all our wills, POAs, etc... all the documents that protected and looked out for us. (She is no longer practicing.) I hadn't told them much of anything to this point, but they immediately invited me over for dinner when I told them my W had left me for the OW. I didn't have to get far into the facts of our story for the former attorney's partner to say, "She's a predator."

I hadn't even used the word to that point!

But I'll tell you what... it's so affirming to hear you, Heavy, Cali, PigPen, Fogg, Bob, Matt (when he was here) and so many people in my real world agree so quickly that this woman is such bad news. It's good, because my W has put herself in a place where she can't see reality at all, and talks as if I'm the crazy one. Without a network of support, I could let myself come to believe her.

You all are my wellspring of sanity. I cannot thank you enough.
