[QUOTE="katya02, post: 224358, member: 2884"] Hi Judy, I'm glad you're feeling relief from the misery that comes from trying to figure out strained relationships. Kids, even adult 'kids', seem to react with hostility to the parent who ends an abusive marriage, even when they've been abused as well. They seem too invested in wanting the family unit intact to be able to see the bigger picture. Treating you with respect is something they'll have to learn from scratch, seeing as they never saw it modeled for them. But as adults they should be able to figure it out, especially with the good role model your second husband is providing. Hugs to you, and :) for your lightbulb moment! :) [/QUOTE]
