I thank you for this Anvilhead. I have been on other sites in the past where people feel the need to "let you have it" for doing something you regret...as if they have never done a single wrong thing in their life.
It is appreciated when others realize we are all human, make mistakes and hopefully learn from them. I know I've learned from this one.
One of my favorite quotes, "When you know you are living a life of integrity and honesty; when you respect yourself and truly live it, you will attract those like you."
For whatever my motivation was at the time that I stayed with him, I won't compromise my values again. That, I promise myself.
