Hey NW, How have you been, my friend. Always nice to hear from you. Yes, there is relief - though lots of sadness too - since I'm making sure that I don't let myself fall into denial (there is a pun there, and it's only partially intended). I feel the loss creep up on me - and also the idea that if she could just reflect on herself - do the work herself - we could work things out...but that is just it...there's nothing to suggest that's going to happen - and that's why I had to release myself and her with that conversation - and it's helped me tremendously.
I won't fight my reality at all - ever again - and as I accept things I do my best to find the right course of action based not on fear but on being a stronger, healthier man.
I've started checking out more local schools today - hoping to find a decent place for my son to attend while he's living with my next year - provided that's how things continue to work out, that is. Life never stops...does it?
