I didn't update this weekend as I had my D and I was actually trying to get work done during my preps this week. However, we have an inservice tomorrow so it feels like a Friday and thus, I don't want to correct any papers...so I'll check in w/ my friends here.
So, first of all, thank you for your kind words and support.
Ali, you are sweet as always. I know you can feel my pain. Maybe my stars are misaligned or something...but they just can't stay that way forever, right?
Kerry, you are solidly in my corner as usual. Thanks.
Nut, anothe one who has my back. I always appreciate your support, straight-forward thoughts and the occasional "man hug." You are right as it is only a short-term victory for her and I do feel as if I'll see my D more and more as time goes on.
bizarre, I did question my L, but I'm pretty convinced he did a good job for me. The situation w/ my dogs may have also worked against me, even though it wasn't stated as such in the evaluation. I think he's ok and really my W just fooled another person as she's done w/ her own therapist (more on that later), her friends and family and, most importantly, herself. I do think she's sold her soul and things will ultimately come back on her. I agree this is a momentary victory for her and nothing more. I will prevail in time.
Kalni, you are so sweet to apologize for not "being here." You were off and living your life, but it is still very nice to know you wished you could have been there to support me in "real time." I am flattered. I agree w/ W's ability to fool people. I think she's got a ton of issues that are repressed and she's in deep denial. She's possibly an alcoholic as well and we all unfortunately know that alcoholics can fool everyone, including themselves for a long, long time. Eventually, something gives and they break, but it is also possible she won't ever crack or feel any remorse. But, that is no longer my problem. I am just to be a great dad as you suggested and watch out for the well-being of my D. That is a wonderful job for me to have and I'm taking it on gladly.
