Wow. Holy cow. I'm wondering when I will cease to be amazed by the similarities between STBXAH and other A's. I was going to post that I think it's possible to approach your AH's claim with some cautious compassion without getting sucked back into a relationship. I think though, after reading your recent post, you already see that. BTW, I really like the yoga sutra you posted. Thanks for sharing it. And thanks Cynical One for posting the link back to the manipulation thread. I definitely needed a reminder about why STBXAH's actions were not and are not acceptable.
I really just have to share (because I'm still flabbergasted that some one could lie about something like this): After I left STBXAH, he put on an "I have cancer" play when he got tired of crashing at his alcoholic/addict friend's house, and when his own paycheck was no longer enough for the alcohol and whatever else he wanted. He went so far as to ask me for a ride and have me drop him off "for treatment" the morning right before our DS had surgery. The entire thing was a lie and another manipulation, a "Look, I'm so, so sick. I want to come back and I'm giving you what I think you'll believe is a valid reason to cater to my every need again."
Of course, I'm seeing all of the manipulation in hindsight, but I'm glad I see it now.
Take care of yourself.

My STBXAH went so far as to discuss with me how he could totally relate to a relative who had cancer....after what "he had been through".
He got angry with me when I said, "You didn't have cancer."
It's always all about them. Always.
