W called me driving back from the attorney's office afterwards. She had already signed a few hours earlier for herself, and she asked whether I had taken care of it. I told her I had and then added, "Congratulations." I meant it both with honesty and with facetious sarcasm.
Hey... if it is going to happen, just as well to get these things done. I was in treatment when my house sold. I remember sitting in the Lawyer's office in a city far away from home where I was in treatment. He happened to be a Christian and was very understanding and gave great guidance on the sitch.
Frankly, am glad it happened like that cause if I was in town, I may have tried to get too involved. I hurt tremendously at the sale of the house cause we had it built for our family and had many, many wonderful times there. I am sentimental that way.
Yet, these kinds of things are going to happen if our WAWs move forward so best not to resist and just get it over with. Believe it or not, you are in a better place now that that step has been takne.
BTW... my new wife works with aspergers and autistic clients professionally. I know the blank, experssionless, emotionless manner of those with the condition. I sometimes wonder about my XW in how she can be so singular and only see her needs. It is a wide spectrum of a disorder so not beyond possiblity that some very otherwise typically functioning people have traits. Those that have this one just cannot see beyond their perspective. They just cant.
Rather than aspergers, I prefer to just think of my XW as a "conscienceless sociopath". It bears far more meaning to me. Then again, I have my biases.
Hey... here's one for ya....
Woman goes to Dr. saying all her friends are complaining about her and that she should get checked for PMS.
Dr. does tests, comes back... "I have good news and bad news"
