How am I doing? Pretty well. I've stayed away from the boards for a couple days.
Just reading reading reading. Things make a lot more sense now.
I have really moved away from analyzing everything she says and does. I talked to her Thurs night and told her that I support her but I need to keep my distance. She said that when she's ready to talk, she will come to me. She also said that the time away she has realized that I have nothing to do with what she's going through.
She came over today to spend time with the kids. I left the house so the kids could have her full attention. After she left my S told me how all she talked about with them was things she did during her childhood and her Grandpa that died in October which was when her A began.
Again today when I saw her she looked sloppy. No makeup, just wearing t-shirt and jeans. She talks about how she only sleeps well one or two nights a week.
The last couple times I've interacted with her, I don't like her very much. I know it's not her so I'm not giving up but it certainly makes it a little easier to distance myself and not think about her so much.
