Like JoeJoe says. I may have said something similar in Jdevast post. Make a resolve of silence. Use as little words as necessary, volunteer only what is needed, let your actions speak volumes. If there is anything I learned this year after getting screwed by XW and family is. Don't ever become attached to any outcome, occasion, person, or object. Try to put God first in your life and have a truly repentant heart. (Still struggling with this. Don't get defensive. (Struggling with this too.) Get comfortable with your own silence, be a doer and not a thinker, and people who want to be in your life and willing to try and understand you will make the effort. Forgive them, forgive yourself, be slow to speak, quick to listen, trust is earned and not given.
