I’ve been taking stock of my life recently, with all the health scares etc., and have resolved that I insist on being treated with courtesy and respect. I have a whole group of women in my orbit, who are manipulative, abusive, users. And this week it has been my delight to inform them, one at a time, that I am sick of this shit and I’m not putting up with this anymore. May make for some lonely evenings, but hey, at least they’re mine.
