Good for you, Bel!
It's a two way street, and no one has a monopoly on pain, hurt, and anguish. Love doesn't mean "license to give sh*t indiscriminately" nor does it mean "Lay down and take it all the time."
You have a good head and a good heart. You're doing the right things. It will be okay.

Excellent! Taking control is good. But don't forget that Carl's ego, and not Carl's heart, is what called you at 7:30 am.

Yes, we teach others how to treat us. I learned that the hard way, too. Here's to YOU! --Joy!Mary

For some reason, if we let someone treat us badly, they only increase the negative stuff. Standing up for yourself is so necessary for him treating you with respect. It is not necessary to harangue or belittle in order to do that, but it is very important to be consistant.

It's never easy, being strong for yourself when you're used to
being there for the other. Especially if the other dicks around with power games and forgets you were there when he'd been knocked down. It's so tempting to go back to old habits of nurturing, letting yourself give too much. I'm sure he's a bit confused and will be moreso. Part of the growth process. Take care, Bel:)

Good for you for taking control!!
I think we really do, as the saying goes, "teach people how to treat us." Don't take any crap!
