You may or may not get the response you want from DS if you text him all those loving messages, but at least you've erred on the side of positive, affirming statements. I agree with Cocobars; I think you'll get some good communication going.

And if you just can't stand it and must vent using your "inner brat," do it here!!! We understand! My inner brat needs to be let out every now and then, too, but I don't want her ruining the few strides I've made with DS and DIL.
Respect ... is appreciation of the separateness of the other person, of the ways in which he or she is unique.

Hmmm, "inner brat."   I like that!  Yep.  This is the perfect playground.  A place where we can all get the support that inner brat needs...

Peace

Well said, ladies!!!!! First positive step to healing is taking ownership!  Great job!
