Barry, I appreciate your honesty about dealing with your role in all of this. Thank you. You need to ignore the others, though. You so obviously have long-standing issues with them. You MUST NEVER READ their posts. Disengage. You are getting pulled down. If you can, stay focused on yourself. Your day will go better, you will feel happier. I often like your posts when they are not about Judy, but your own compulsion is to read Judy's and/or react to her. She has you hooked, and you have her hooked.
