KDU - I'm so happy for you. Not just because it looks like you are on the road to reconciliation, but because you have such dignity and grace throughout it.

You really seem to have stood your ground without ever being less than compassionate. I must confess a knot of jealousy in my stomach. And a whole mess of admiration in my heart. I wish I could be as strong as you are and I hope that I will get there soon. I wish I was as good at boundaries as you are.

I have no advice because you are doing everything just right.
