I am trying not to take this personally. ABF has gone to meet his ex-wife who he claims wants to get back together. He needs to get some paperwork from her. I just smiled and waved at him as he left. I Am trying to keep the focus on me and what I need to do for myself. He has made all kinds of promises again, we are going to do this tonight, blaa, blaa, blaa. I do not expect him to follow through! He will be drunk by the end of day! He got himself all dressed up and went to meet her. He says I will be back in an hour or so! Just do not expect that. I am detaching the best I can!
I don't know you're entire story, but I can imagine how painful him doing this must be. It is inspiring how well you are doing under such circumstances. Congrats! Stay strong and all my best to you.
I applaud you Joker!! You have the right perspective and detaching is the best way to remove yourself from his emotional manipulation. {{HUGS}} to you.

He came back within half hour and says he did not meet up with her, she had other things to do. I do not care! I just remained detached! His craziness!
