I'm sorry to hear that you're feeling down. Unfortuntely, the process can be long especially when we can't let go of our spouse. I agree that it seems that you are angry with your Ex and still love her. I am right with you when it comes to feelings about our Ex's; at least your W isn't living with someone else and had a baby.
From what I can see, there is no OM and yes, she still has feelings for you which is a good start. She would not be calling you if she didn't miss you, care for you and yes still love you. You need to show her what she is missing and what she could've had and maybe still have. Now pick yourself up, dream of how you want your house to look like and putting one foot in front of the other, fulfil your dream. Visualize your kids running in the yard, throwing a football, riding a bike, laying on a blanket at night looking at the stars. You can have it all but you have to dream it first.
I know you know all this and yes it is hard, I'm there right now where I feel it will never get better but I know I've had good days and there will be even better days. It's like Don said, we can't see our future but we can see how far we've come. For some, it takes longer but it will come.
I'm glad I took the time to post to you today. In posting to you, it is motivating me to continue to move forward.
Keep us posted on the renos and I'm sure you will make it your dream home once again.
Your friends are still following along because we care. Gee, you even got the privilege of having Frank play the bagpipes for you.
Hugs, ISLH
