Been very dark for a while. Haven't heard a word from the ex. I emailed her a reminder that she owes me some money for bills and a note that the bill for our daughter's braces will be about $2300. Again no response. Don't know what's going on and, quite frankly, I am reaching a point where I don't care. Ran into a friend of hers over the wkd and she told me that my ex seems to be taking her anger out on everyone, with the exception of her newfound "enabler" friend. Someday, I'm assuming she will wake up from her fantasy - or maybe not. Anyway, I met a very nice woman over the wkd at a wedding reception. Just a brief conversation and shook her hand before I left. I don't know if I'm ready to date again or not. Don't know how you determine that. It was really nice to talk to a beautiful young woman and not think about me ex for a while.
