[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 34175, member: 3353"] Janet, Ant chose this for himself. He had to know you would not tolerate it. And if you had forgiven it this time, next time would only have been harder. You stood by him and helped him to get through prison (and I remember your posts from that time ~ it was so hard for you to be there and to see your son there ~ but you did it). You helped him settle in to a new life after his release, and give him six months of your own life so that he could put down roots. You would have given him more, but Ant himself made that impossible. You did not HAVE another choice, where Ant is concerned. I agree with Donna regarding boyfriend's rationalizations for his shoddy behavior. I still say that there are people out there who work through their own issues by victimizing others. When I read your posts regarding boyfriend now though, I am struck by how much stronger you are. And, if the information boyfriend is giving you now are true things he had never shared before, then maybe boyfriend is in the process of changing, too.... I read something once about a woman walking those paths she had chosen with grace, if not pleasure. I would say that describes your response to these events, Janet. You are an amazing woman.
