Thank you for the reply. I need to work on not reacting - they know it and can see and hear it. I do not hide it well. I know the other side of it is hard as well - people unaware of "how you might be feeling". It was very difficult to read my x. He did not say much but if he did...good or bad, he meant it. I'm sure he was everything I was not, and I was everything he was not - have to have good tools for that type of relationship - we did not.
