Thank you this is terrific stuff! I guess one of the many things I struggle with is that my husband said he "felt rejected on every level" by me. So when I use the LRT, is that maybe a bad thing? I don't think so, because the two times I begged him to reconsider divorce were the two times he ugly raged at me. Plus, I just plain old don't want to subject myself to his rage/hate. I've had to go darker because of his attitude toward me. But is that rejecting him more? I am polite and informative when we need to discuss logistics regarding the kids. But I don't initiate contact unless I have to. I just feel like we have barely any contact now. I have changed a lot as far as taking care of a lot more things around the house and taking care of stuff that he used to (he doesn't live here anymore, but when he did, he complained that he had to do everything.) Plus I have really gotten a lot better about taking care of myself. I don't know how much of this he sees. Last time I saw him was a couple of weeks ago and he was very nasty to me, so I have been avoiding him. I think he is in MLC monster mode. Although I have experienced his anger in the past, this is on a whole new ugly level. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
