Good point Skeezys, and in hindsight I should have offered up that.......if I was keen to fix things anymore. TBH, I'm still pretty raw and sensitive over what happened, and after years and years of trying to work with them to fix things, not only am I exhausted, but I am also weary of having it all put back on to me when I try. It seems that they can yell and scream whenever they like, but all of my communication is put under a 1000x micron microscope....and soon enough we end up having a conversation about how I messed up, or should have acted differently, or avoided the situation. I guess what I am trying to say, is that I don't even know if I want a relationship with these people anymore. That text was expressed kinder than I felt like being at the time. What I really felt like saying was....

"Are you F****** kidding me? Are you actually serious? You simply expect me to roll over and beg after the way you treated me? How about you show me how serious you are about having a decent honest and open relationship with me, not one based on how I am always the <insert negative label here> and maybe, just maybe I will decide to meet you half way"
