Try and think of nice things to do with your son to distract you.

Plan what you could do for halloween. Get him to help with dinner - make pizza or something together. Watch a video that he likes. Make a model if he is into that sort of thing. Play some board games. Make it an adventure so that it is a distraction for you and a wonderful memory for him. Undoubtedly he will talk about his great evening to his mom and that can only win you brownie points with your W. You gotta start thinking outside of the box a bit!!

What you mustn't do is beat yourself up. Learn from any mistakes you make and move on.

I had to do really stupid things to get me through. OW in my case was plumper and not as attractive as me so I made a voodoo doll of her out of a cabbage patch doll - a barbie doll was way too thin - and my youngest D and I stuck pins in it. It only went on for a couple of weeks but made us feel much better, ( apart from the fact we felt bad for the doll!!!!!!)
