I came across the following blog on a Divorce Site and I think it would apply to anyone (he/she) who is dealing with post-divorce and high conflict.
"When I left my ex, I was worried that I was crazy like he kept telling me. Maybe he was a great guy and I was a psychotic who has lost her grip on reality. Had he proceeded to treat me with respect and kindness after the split, I would have hated myself for eternity and blamed myself for destroying what would've been a happy family. That would've been torment.
Lucky for me, he has, and continues to treat me with anger, hatred and venom. He re-affirms why I left him almost every time he opens his mouth. You'd think he would send me a basket with a thank-you note for leaving him. He never even liked me! My leaving was a gift to him. Instead of receiving a basket for my generosity, I get him. The gift that keeps on giving."
