After almost 5 days with her mother, my W is on the plane on her way home. We have had almost no contact, though what we did have was friendly if distant. I know that the time has been very stressful for her, and that she really wanted to / was feeling obligated to stay longer to help her mom.
No contact at all in the past day, except a short text to let me know her flight was delayed.
I am feeling myself get a bit apprehensive - her reaction to the past days of stress with her sick mom and then of coming home is an unknown. I have to get past that feeling however and just let go.
Once again, the four agreements is coming to help me:
- Don't take anything personally (whatever her reaction, it has nothing to do with me) - Don't make assumptions (don't try to predict)
