I just wanted to add, that I am really proud of the way I handled things last night.
I just let him quack. I did not get caught up in all the emotional BS or the grand plans that he has to make this work!
I could have interjected blame... but didn't. That was huge for me.
And mostly during our conversation I was thinking of all the phone calls I need to make today, and how grateful I am that I can now make them.
