When is kindness enough?

[Ripe]

Dear Fogg.
Your words are wise, but don't worry. I was never a hateful person and I have always been open to forgiveness.
My moment of hate has passed.
W is now gone.
We gave two kisses and I wished her a nice trip. When my kid saw it he said: "the boyfriends are kissing goodbye".
I now have 10 days to enjoy the kids by myself.
I announced the divorce to my side of the family so I am in piece with myself.
And something important happened: I had a crucial conversation with my sister together with my brother. She has been abusive to my mother for several years and today we confronted her. I think we convinced her to seek treatment but at least she now knows she will not misstreat our mother ever again. During this conversation I shared my feelings and this is a novelty for me, the biggest 180 I could achieve. Did I do it because of my W? No, she was not even present.
Before DB I would never reveal myself to my family so openly.
I did it today and in the process helped mmy mother. I feel great.
