GoldenDog.....Congrats on how well you handled the conversation with him! I know that wasn't easy.
It is sooo important for you to create an :"oasis" of peace and calm, away from the center of the chaos (your cabin).
While there may be some days that feel more bumpy than others---as time goes on, you will begin to feel stronger at your core.
Keep letting us know how things are going along for you....because we care, and because there are lots of others who read, here, and your story will be a great help for them.
