my daughter received a text (again) from her estranged father – we don’t talk at all – i was busy feeling sorry for myself thinking how alone i was, no friends, my mom went to my sisters and i wasn’t invited. My daughter showed me the text ‘this is the last msg you will get from me, I’ve tried to talk to you for three years, I’m sorry for ‘whatever’ wrong I’ve done, my phone number is xxx-xxxx’. It reminded me of how pathetic and out-of-touch with his reality he is and I know how happy I really am without him and his passive/aggressive crap mindplaying games. I was instantly happy. I am back stronger than ever. There are no ‘buts’ in my volcabulary!
