[QUOTE="Elsieshaye, post: 497400, member: 12928"] Thanks, Everyone. I think what I was struggling with is the idea that I'm not yet ready to resume contact, but I don't want to slam the door in his face and lock it, Know what I mean?? Thanks for the reminder that I get to decide what I will and won't accept. Here's the thing: while I recognize that his communication to me, in difficult child-ese, was not bad as such, it isn't enough for me. It's just not. So, I'm just going to let things sit the way they are for now. When he contacts me again, if it's reasonably civil, I'll respond in kind. If it's not civil, or it's a non-response like today's little gem, I won't respond at all. (Part of me wants to be sarcastic, but I'm a bit too raw, and right now what I intend as sarcasm might come out as outright b!tchiness, which I think would be counterproductive.) This is clearly going to be a long process, and my job will be to stay approachable without letting him use me or treat me poorly. *sigh* [/QUOTE]
