Actually duke, for a first attempt at setting boundaries, you did well. Don't knock yourself down on it.

Take the compliment, my own first attempts were dire. We are talking here about your boundary setting. Of course WW didn't react well that's not the point.

Duke say to yourself "yes V I am pleased that you thought my efforts worthwhile. I am going to do better each time, it's a first step for me"

Won't do the kids any harm to see you friendly in public, no private hugs though. You know it's chasing.

Freedom is just another word for nothing left to loose.
