What you wrote made me think...long & hard. I thought I was still angry at me ex, but after reading what you wrote, I think I have forgiven him. I take the side that he is not a BAD person, but a SICK person. The clean, sober man I fell in love with is NOT the person he is today. I have more of a problem with handling the "good" memories that pop up. And there were GREAT memories (since we knew each other over 30 years). And there was HORRIBLE pain I allowed him to cause me. And he still seems to have the need to hurt me every 6 or so months by letting me know it is MY fault that he's with a bimbo in crackland.
Thanks for posting that. I thought I was stuck in angry. But looks like I'm not.
