Gingersnap-newly separated & bracing for the ride!

[Gingersnap]

He called again a few minutes ago. I'm calmer and collected. He's a mess. Crying and saying he's losing it. I told him, quite calmly, that I understand he's hurting but that he will be ok. He needs space and I need space. We will do this and work with the kids together. He was grateful, I think. I told him initially I'd like to downplay the move and say that it's just a way to be closer to work because his hours are changing. Not sure if they will buy it. But I need a little time to collect myself and I'll take what I can get. He agreed to that plan as well...sounding relieved.

At least I strapped myself in for the ride. Sounds pretty classic MLC. He asked me to pray for him 3 times before he hung up. I assured him there was not an hour that passed that I wasn't.

Hope comes in tiny bits and pieces around here.

Thanks so much, Donna. I need to get to some other threads so I can get some more replies..LOL. I did watch Oprah. Part of why I fell apart so easily at the news I already knew.
