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!!!!!
