Quote: I have to tell you, not letting her bad behavior affect me, not tolerating her disrespect toward me, and not wading into her crap, has had a profoundly liberating effect on me. I feel great this morning.
YEEAAAHHHHH for you, Hairdog!!! Whew, whew!! This is BIG. This is very BIG. Mark it on your calendar, and celebrate it every year as your liberation day.
