AH feels that he is being handcuffed, and is tied to a ball & chain. In other words, now that his no-longer-enabling wife has put her foot down and has set boundaries he feels like he is in prison!!!

Oh, and the poor guy has lived with a "control freak" and an "overeater" for so many years (I'm not denying that I have done the above, and I'm working on it)!!!

He does not want to be told what to do or where to do it!

I can see in his eyes and hear in his voice that he truly believes everything that comes out of his mouth!!

The good news is that I don't believe everything that comes out of his mouth.

I'm so glad that I am starting my own business, continuing to see my therapist, taking good care of my children, and when the time is right, I will file for divorce...

Always feels good to get this "stuff" out.
