I saw my C today. She asked me about how I can keep feeling happy & no longer depressed. I was telling her I think it is important for me to keep busy, see/talk with friends, etc. I had a little sadness when the play ended but it lasted about a day not for months like in the past.
My C thought it was great my H wants to spend a lot of time with the kids & the sleepover Sat. I emailed H that his plans are great with me & he emailed me a happy reply. C had also said I should have a talk with H about the OW not being around the kids. I asked her to clarify and discuss that with H when she calls him this week as she had wanted to talk to him about the kids & their therapy.
When my C asked the same of her H he apparently went right out and introduced the OW in their case to the kids (out of spite or something? or didn't want to be controlled?) and she says her ex has expressed regret over the way he acted. I thought it would be better coming from the kids' C (advice about OW) than me b/c he will think I am just being jealous or spiteful or controlling or whatever and obviously the C has no agenda like that, so I think that will be good.
