Great observation. I too thought that I was being defensive after posting.
Withdrawing is a part of me as well. It is an area I need to continue working on.
I did realize that I was tough on Laughing. I shared my thoughts of what I believed was happening with her. I did this to offer my take on the situation. It is quite possible that I am way off base. In reading Laughings responses to my post, that is what I'm hearing her say to me.
My thoughts and feeling of what I'm sensing is not always right. There are many things that I was not aware of in terms of her XH making physical threats and other inappropriate behaviors.
With the additional information Laughing has shared, I can totaly understand why she is doing some of the things she is doing. But there are others things that I see differently from my own perspective.
