Rob,
Sorry I haven't been by lately...I was going through my own overwhelming rush of emotions and just couldn't find myself offering anything helpful to anyone...I tried to post a couple times - but just muddled thoughts came out...and I figured that wouldn't do anyone any good...

Though I'm not in the D phase (yet?), I was cycling through a lot of profound sadness just over the last few days (since coming back from business in Vegas) - and as SmartCookie pointed out to me - the cycling is necessary - feeling the pain is such an important part of healing that part of us that is still hurting.

It doesn't help that your XW still has such mixed up feelings and that those feelings come out as anger - but, as you know, it's her anger - it's about her - and not you...that said, I can't help but consider it rude and inconsiderate of her to bring her BF by to help sort through things - that just seems like a boundary issue...

How is your little angel doing?

Have you been able to find any time to do something for yourself? I've been encouraged to treat myself to something...not easy when I'm being so cautious with every penny...but I keep thinking about it and trying to figure out what would be a treat for myself...still haven't quite nailed it - but thought maybe you could share something you might do.

Hope today has been better for you, my friend.

-Carlos.
