Thanks, OE. I appreciate that. He hasn't responded to my last texts from last night in which I reminded him of the "specifics" he quite conveniently forgot and the "specifics" of what he has done recently. I don't care if he does reply or not, but I'm trying to figure out what to say if he does respond. I figure that it will likely be more escalating and blame and deflection or misdirection, and honestly I just want it to stop. I don't really want to have any more communication with him unless he is willing to take ownership of his behaviors and his past actions. So do I just say that and leave it be?
I do not have the strength to dive into this crap with him right now either. And I'm certainly not dropping everything so that we can have a conversation that will almost certainly have a massive impact on my mental state.
So if there is a response, how do I respond?
