It's up to you. You have to decide how important they are to you and your life, as it is with them at this instant, before you can decide how to interact or just cut the cord.

But, my prayers are with you.Sharlene T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08520928982756928527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485406472598681822.post-36844946674015578302010-03-14T19:41:41.452-04:002010-03-14T19:41:41.452-04:00icky.

My last husband was toxic. But, having kids with him, I can never get away. Now I have to contend with his new wife as well. She is also toxic.

Even though I have nothing to do with her, and she now has nothing to do withLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06008336128049089410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485406472598681822.post-20090713640845567862010-03-14T11:52:59.296-04:002010-03-14T11:52:59.296-04:00I ended up walking away from not one, but two ex-h...I ended up walking away from not one, but two ex-husbands.. and most of my family.
