I jumped another hurdle today! Yesterday D17 and her dad made plans for dinner together tonight. I just found out an hour ago that it is a birthday party for his gf's daughter (who is 25ish I think). I scurried around the house to find a gift that D17 could take (I usually keep a few things on hand) and she made a nice homemade card for her. I have the sense that my daughter is still protecting me....didn't want me to know she was doing something with "the other family". D17 actually thanked me! I also DIDN'T CRY when exH showed up to pick her up!!! Baby steps!!!
NNP, I do think counseling would be good for me! Just haven't found the "driveby" version yet. I should hurry and get my free sessions in in case I do find a new job this summer! I have been looking around for divorce care groups, but haven't found anything that works with my schedule that is near by.
I have spent so much of my life taking care of exH and D17 that I any having difficulty putting myself at the top of my list!!!!!
Hi Mattie Well start with yourself on the top for short periods. That way you won't feel guilty about having some fun. Takes a while I did not smile naturally for a couple of years. I'm sure it will take you much less.
