[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 689013, member: 18958"] I asked M, [I]what we will do if he shows up tonight[/I]. M said: [I]He won't. Why? To punish us. Then what will we do when he does show up? Go back to the original plan which is already set up. He stays in the house on 20th. He scrapes the floor. All that changed is that he lied to avoid paying the locksmith, was caught, got mad at us, and left. He left to punish us. He will be back. We will resume where it was left.[/I] I like this way of seeing things. Which to me is the epitome of not reacting, or even responding. We are pretending we did not see him. Like his leaving was not even a blink. Totally without import. Good. Like we did not lose one ounce of resolve or power. Our way or the highway. Who is the loser. We are. Oops. I mean, he is. He was the one who lost a bed and the support of a family for one day and night or as long as he wants to throw his tantrum. But us? We do not even turn to see as he breaks his toys and throws his food. [/QUOTE]
