I think it's probably best that I don't respond just yet. I'm not mad, just don't have any bright, cheery thing to say.
Good job!
How about a positive spin on it? "Well, on the bright side, now your visit won't conflict with my girls weekend. See you soon!"
I say that while in full agreement with 25 above. He's not where he needs to be. But, for me, if this is the first time your H has done something like this, that's okay. He's on his path and you're on your path and maybe those paths will join up.
He's not doing what he's doing because of your lack of worth. You are worthy. We all love you and we don't even know you in real life
The best thing for LeahSue, and for her H (should he succeed in his path back) is for LeahSue to be strong, healthy, and focused on making her life great. She's no one's victim, and that attitude is true empowerment. And if H doesn't make his path back, then LeahSue still has a great life. Win/win.
Thanks all for your encouraging words. If only I could see my own situation so clearly, and always live up to what I'm telling LeahSue to do. We're all human beings, and sometimes it's easiest to see the path from entirely outside the situation.
