Thank you for your thoughts, Mary. I won't say that he isn't adding to my life's complications, because he is. But he was able to explain his why he made the decisions he did in a way that didn't make me hate him more.

I think what I needed to hear was that he wanted to continue to work with me. That my perception of what we were doing was accurate.

Funny enough, I went back and read my in session post from a few weeks ago and I said in that post that my first inclination was to run. And that's what I tried to do.

Thanks for all of your input and perspective, PC. You guys have been invaluable to me as I've gone through this. The next few months will be hard, but I'm feeling like I can get through it.
