I'm not the smallest bit afraid he'll hurt himself, the selfish b-, I am afraid he'll hurt me or the kids though

.
((js)) My ex used to this too only he would feign a heart attack and it got so i ignored to a certain degree. Until one day at a music festival we were volunteering at he really did have a heart attack the woman in charge was trying to ffind out if he had chest pain before and I said yeah, i would n't worry about it he does this all the time. Did I feel like a b****!

I grew up in New England. I would say, they're aggressive glass bowls as drivers but they know how to drive. Same for Texas, Europe and the Middle East. Arizona drivers seem to have the first characteristic, but not the second.

But this is probably the perspective of an out-of-stater. Everyone else's mileage may vary.

You need to report this and your fears to the courts. This is the worst kind of emotional blackmail.

Agreed, and I think I know what you did there with the "glass bowl drivers" At least, I hope so

He's already been warned by his lawyers and the police. This incident will make police report #3, not counting the police reports before he had visitation with the kids.

Keep it up, because it seems like he's going downhill fast. I'm sorry he's such a poopyhead.

Enjoyed my movie date with my son. We are sad to see the end of another series we enjoyed. Mockingjay was good though; didn't disappoint. Kind of eerie to see Phillip Seymour Hoffman though.
Thanks for this!

I've been feeling a wonderful sense of freedom since my session the other evening. I wonder if this is how it feels when you are truly starting to be ready to end therapy???

The same thing when my cat lost his "older brother" (they weren't really related but they loved each other). I started answering back when he called for him...he still does this sometimes and I still answer back. I think maybe he's calling for me now, tho, because it's been about 7 years.
