Cherry. H is filing and leaving. Working on me

[Cherry]

Zeus I agree, that really gives me something to think about, thank you.

Surfer, I know you aren't lecturing, and know you come from a good place of help. I feel like I didn't walk into his trap, I held my tongue at a lot of things I would have loved to have spewed back myself but I knew better than to take his anger and match him. The only thing I did, which I stand by was tell him that I would not be spoken to in that angry tone. I will not be there for anyone to shout at.


S was still tucked up safe and sound. I'm very careful to protect him too against this kind of interaction. I know he would be scared, no kid needs to see their parents argue.

Tried to avoid him at all costs today. The couple times I have seen him this evening, I wouldn't say I sounded chirpy, but I was civil, I did not ignore him. And I shall try to keep Zeus' card game in mind, that I treat him with the same level of respect I would want myself.

On a happier note, related to nothing. My a gf both got a free desert today in a restaurant for being "their prettiest customers all day". A nice little ego boost
