It's his birthday today. *Sigh*

I think though for the most part I've got this under control. Without him there to keep the wounds open I can at least clamp down on the emotions.

The thing that really keeps bothering me though is in our last argument.

He very deliberately baited me into cutting contact. Every time he responded to what I had to say he would end with "you have the power to make it go away" or something similar.

WHY!? Why wouldn't he do it himself? Was it really just so he could take the high ground like he suggested or was there something more?
