Thank you for your kind words...it's knowing I have to set an example for my kids that they can respect that keeps me from giving in to those "desires" to lower myself and "play" in the mud too...You're welcome. And remember, you've got one thing going for you. If you were just a bitter, spiteful, vengeful ex who didn't care what was fair or right, you wouldn't be asking in the first place. You apparently have hard-wired integrity. You'll be fine.
Again thank you...and my post has accomplished what i wanted...to know the frustration is totally normal and i am not alone in my desire to want to play "dirty" and that i am acting responsibly by not giving into those desires and by taking the higher road...
