All of that sounds very good. You mentioned tai chi, have you thought of martial arts? Often they have family discounts and it would be wonderful for your boys. I think it's particularly good for AS kids. Lots of motor/sensory work, bilaterial integration (to help stimulate both sides of the brain), kind of like OT without the expensive price! Also, helps make men hunky! ;\)

I'm glad to hear you are attending Divorce Care. That support will be very helpful. One of my good friends goes and mentioned one of the attendees did get back with his wife. Although I gather a lot of their focus is on moving on. The whole forgiveness aspect is crucial regardless of where the relationship goes. It's the people who hold onto bitterness (like this close friend of mine!), who really struggle and seem to have more difficulty healing. I was always very disappointed that she refused to DB (and I spent almost every single day with her last summer!). Oh well...

You hang in there and keep doing positive things. Country Western dancing...hummmm.... what about hip hop? Might be a better way to get out aggressions and you don't have to listen to all those "broken heart" songs. Just a thought!


There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
