I am 10 months post Divorce and I am NC with xW, as far as NC can go when you have a child together.
Random text from xW are ignored, the temptation to send her snotty emails is resisted.
NC is used to heal yourself and not punish the MLC’er although they do seem to exception to that.
Without NC I would not be as healed as I am today.
I fully endorse the use of NC to protect and heal yourself.
