Congratulations! I tried many times, and was able to get time to establish a new boundaries but then my father died and all he'll broke loose. The game was how much can we beat up on Monique. I tried to figure out a solution, it came from my History studies at the University. Back in the day of Christopher Columbus, the higher ups would burn the boats so that the sailors and military had no option but to go forward without looking back. I've been studying this time period for my Masters and decided if it worked for Columbus, it might work for me. I dropped a "tactical nuclear weapon" in the center of the family and it went off, affecting most everyone directly or indirectly. I said my peace as clear, more graphic than I had in the past and walked away. The "bomb" was like burning the boats, I will never go back. I won't go running back every time they claim someone is sick, they've changed, the miss me. I admire your ability to walk out peacefully. Congrats!
