In this episode Duane discusses the difficulties of ruminating and constantly thinking and questioning a toxic ex. It is incredibly difficult to come to grips with the reality the person was never who they portrayed themselves to be. From there we talk about how to stop blaming yourself for what happened and thinking of yourself as a failure. A listener then shares how the best revenge is letting go of the need and feelings of revenge. A return caller shares his temporary order victory of 50/50 and how just staying the course helped him get what he was working toward. The caller is just a latest example that victories are possible and can be achieved. DSD then discusses a point the caller made, and his own judge made, where they were encouraging the involvement of fathers in the children’s lives. This leads to a talk about how you can get to the other side of this. But it is important to limit the negative information and influence that you allow into your life. Bottom line stay away from people who keep telling you directly or indirectly that you are going to lose. Duane shares a story of when he believed a young airman who was calming being a victim but ultimately violated his trust. Finally some listeners bring up some collaboration ideas and DSD talks about potential guests on upcoming shows.
