it may be the case that he has been torn up about what he did to you. maybe hes tried to be elcted for mayor just so he has the chance to change other peoples lives, almost as though he feels the need to mend other peoples lives after ruining yours.

at the end of the day, esthersvirtue, you are stronger and better than him. he may be superficially praised but you are the one that holds the inner strength and you are worth a whole lot more than he ever will be. a job title doesnt make you a person, its whats inside that does.
