Another good day today. The kids and I did a group family session actually yesterday with the C, and that was weird but ok. She had us talking about what makes us sad, mad, and glad. Reminder to myself I'd like to keep up talking that stuff freq. with the kids: we usually do the mad & sad stuff, but need to talk more about what makes us happy too. S14 was acting very autistic, just spacing out and that kind of thing. I think sometimes I'm in denial about it a little and my H is 100% in denial. But both sweet, smart kids who do their best so good enough for me.
Kids and I went to the library and checked out books and did the Art club they have on Friday. Then got back and H was here. I had all their backpacks and pillows and stuff ready to go spend the night with H, but he says my roommate's having a party or something so he can't have the kids tonight. He says this in some weird kind of tone, like duh, don't you know that? But no, I'm not a mind-reader so I didn't. He's taking them to dinner now and then going to come visit them tomorrow.
I had my best week ever with detaching I think. I didn't email H, call him, nothing. I think the lack of contact has been really good for me in detaching. I've also been reading lots of divorce books, life after divorce, parenting after divorce, etc. which is maybe helping too. I guess if it's a process I'm thinking I'm going to be ready or close to it by the D. Hope everyone is doing good. I'm going to clean up some and then work out (I haven't worked out in a week, but feeling better today, just going to do a half hour workout). Ciao! Karen
