In the past I would have reacted back to her with something hurtful and then I would have felt guilty and sucked up to her. She knows that I have never really felt loved by her except when I could give her things or fix her problems. Now that she has nothing to use against me the only thing that she thinks will hurt me is to tell me that she does not love me. The surprise is that we have been getting along, she has seemed to be pleased that I am not spending my days worrying about her. She has also said so many nice things lately. Been kind and respectful and keeping me up-to-date with her life. I think that I let my guard down a little and that is why it hurts. Next time I will be a little more careful or call the phone company and have them remove my ability to get and receive text messages. That way if she has something hurtful to say she can't hide behind texting to do it. Hugs, Marle
