Gone Dancin', Thanks for reminding all of us about patience, I have been very good lately in discussions with my W, I haven't asked her anything about "Us" in a very long time. I listen better, I can feel myself about to say something, and I don't, yeah for me!
My S has been acting up in class, I feel it is partly due to our separation, but my W doesn't think so, she said it went on last year somewhat too, I didn't agree or disagree with her, I just listened, is that the right way to approach that? This week could be a test for my S, since it was Friday after school that I told him I had lost my job, and his words through his tears haunt me everyday "Why does all this bad stuff keep happening to us dad?" I am trying to reassure him that it will all work out. I told my W that there was a permission slip in his school backpack for a class for "students of loss or divorce" with the guidance counselor, I asked my W if I should sign it and return it, she knew about the class and she didn't want to do that? Gone Dancin', does that mean she isn't thinking about D, or she feels my S doesn't need it, or none of the above??? I know, I shouldn't drive myself crazy with trying to read too much into things.
I have my doubts about just about everything these days. I had a couple of posts some time ago that said I was interested in the girl at the bank, I got a tongue lashing from a couple of people, and I resented it, now I can see I deserved it. I feel needy, not a good time to be around my W I guess. I felt lonely with only my evenings to kill and a busy schedule, now without a job, the time off is going to really bug me, I'm keeping busy, but there is only so much you can do when you aren't working. Advice please.
