Will do! I really don't plan to speak with him at all, other than a "hello", perhaps. I've got lots of children he should be busy with, since they are the reason he found himself the lucky recipient of an invitation to join his family.
I haven't spoken with him for over a week now! I'm really proud of that fact. A few text exchanges for important information - but when he's attempted to bait me via text, I just use the powerful weapon called IGNORE.
I really am getting it. I'm so upset with him over the kids, the pets, and his treatment of me that it makes it fairly easy to just let him go. I don't want to be in a relationship with someone I have to beg to stay. He needs to want to be there, or he can go away.
I'm certain I will be just fine - but if my blood starts to boil for any reason, I plan to come here and vent here, first. That alone could have saved me so much heartache in the past. I learn from my mistakes. No reacting! Aloof, yet kind - I feel good with that plan.
