Meredith, it breaks by heart to think of you as the broken pottery. It angers me when men belittle women. I'm praying you have a circle of family and friends who validate you so you don't believe the hurtful things he slings at you.

I've found you to be an incredible person who gives beyond measure. I'm mad that you can't be on the receiving end in your own home.

A little touchy question here, but do you allow him to think he can "resurrect the shards"?
