When I quit playing the victim role, I was able to see my part in the demise of the marriage and the rocky start of the relationship with ex-husband's wife. For a while, I felt I had every right to be a raging, self-righteous shrew. That was not healthy, nor did it promote peace between our homes. It certainly did not make things easy for the kids. When I accepted responsibility for my part in all of it, I was able to begin healing and start moving toward peace. So true, Jill.
