That was great. For a long time I was angry about some things that happened around the time leading up to and after ds1's birth. I felt like if I "let go" it would be saying that what they did was okay, and be disloyal to my son. But eventually I figured unless I was going to "do something" to get back at them, which I wasn't, I was just giving them my mental real estate and energy that they didn't deserve. It was such a freeing feeling to say "you aren't worth my energy anymore."

Isn't that amazing how our minds work?? I struggle with the same thing.

If I let go, then they win. But it is really so far from the truth.
