Sunny,
Thanks for your response. I totally agree. I will go down the civil route. Anything more is just setting myself up for disappointment.

I deserve respect. As the mother of his child. If he cannot treat me with respect, then we really shouldn't have much to do with each other.

You can call me Dory/ Grl.

As a wise fish once sang,"Just keep swimming!"

It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
