AJ - Weird I am in NC too - LOL. It is also weirdly warm for December.
Heather, I am sorry you felt disrespected by Matt. The holidays are tough. We all want that Christmas miracle story of love and reconciliation. I understand your anger but that time and energy can never be reclaimed. At this point it is not about learning to care for Matt less but dedicating ALL your time and energy on caring more for yourself. Your D's know the deal. It is not a surprise. The best you can give them is not to let it bother you for a second. You and your girls deserve only the best quality people in your life. Don't let his issues color your world. You've got this.
