Your power lies in knowing you can’t hold him accountable (because he doesn’t want to be!), and making your own choices based on that - choices that would benefit you, because he certainly isn’t looking out for your best interests. He may try and throw down road blocks, but there’s almost always a way around!
Sooo true and I’ve told him this recently - how come you never made a change all that time when I made it clear that changes were needed? He can only say that losing me had an impact on him. Oh yeah and now he claims he’s found God? Come on - get real. Yes, yet another ploy.

I DO feel slightly more empowered by blocking him and by seriously limiting all contact. And walking away is helping me to feel empowered too. So maybe I’m not as disempowered as I had thought just this morning.
