Great news Elerbeth!! That is such a relief, isn’t it. I know things got better for me after I figured out I would be okay.

It seemed very out of the blue and I didn’t even realize he was in town (without the OW apparently). I replied that I preferred to text and we just discussed the kids and parents and nothing specific.

I’m impressed you declined to meet with him. I would have been flabbergasted as well, if I were you. Also a bit curious…lol. Good for you for upholding your boundaries.

I hear you on that one. I can’t recall ever being this concerned about the state of the world. Praying every day that the world’s leaders find a peaceful way out of this although that is looking less and less likely as they days go by.

You’re not alone Elerbeth. You have a whole community of people pulling for you. Big ((((HUGS))) my friend. <3
