Thank you @markwhittam. I can't tell you what a relief it is to be here at GOE. I don't think I could have stayed as positive about life changes had I stayed out in the matrix much longer.
Yes, we all have issues to work through. My ex is no different, with the exception of the fact that he choose to take out his anger and issues on me instead of finding a productive way to heal those scars. I think he is making slow progress towards a better life, but ultimately that is up to him. Thank you for your support!
