[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 744913, member: 22877"] I let things go when I can not for my son's sake but for my on sanity, wellbeing, and peace, and that of my husband's. Today he wasn't being abusive, more antagonistic, but may have become abusive if I had let it escalate, and definitely would have caused drama. It also does no good pointing out when he has his snits and attitudes, because he either is totally unaware or refuses to see or acknowledge. And he always has a comeback. Acknowledging or responding to him when he's like that only leads to a bickering contest, and it's not worth it. As far as if he's a nice person or not, he is both, subject to change at any given moment. And the great thing, for me at least, is that I have taken away his power to hurt me with his words, for the most part. Angry, yes (not today, however) but not hurt. You don't know how liberating it was when I reached that point! [/QUOTE]
