MF (couldn’t resist),
My sincere condolences on the loss of your father; we went threw that a couple of years ago (three for me losing my father, and 2 for hubby losing his mother). I really do know what you’re going through and I am so glad that you seem to be dealing with things in a healthy way.
Secondly, WELCOME TO PC. As you’ve seen here there are a lot of wonderfully helpful people on this site. It’s very nice to meet you! FYI Perna is the go to gal for websites, she can find ANYTHING.
Thirdly, YEAAAAA MF for kicking him to the curb. I was a little behind on my reading in the forums, so while I scrolled through the postings it was like reading a suspense novel unfold. I really screamed YEA when I read that you dumped him (family looked at me a bit odd, but they should be used of it by now). Hold fast, he took you for granted and was not there when you needed him, unforgivable imo.
To suggest you overreacted!!!! OMG, he’s SO lucky he’s never met the likes of me! I do believe I would have at least ripped the phone cord out of the wall and threw the phone in the trash before leaving; and that would be on a good day. I can’t tell you what I’d do with the cord and the phone on a bad day.
I just have to say I’m so proud of you! Keep it up, you’re an inspiration!
