Are you the artist formerly known as SML??? D8 is doing great...her school grades have not suffered at all and the comments from her teachers were excellent. I have to hand it to her mom, she has done a good job. I have no intention of introducing anyone (as my new girlfriend) to D8 until i am certain that the person i introduce will be in my life for a while. As far as ex W goes, we are done. Sure there are feelings...that linger. How can they totally be erased? But they are almost non existant. Picking up D8 this weekend at the house...seeing my old dog....picking up some old stuff....it hardly affected me.....so i guess i am detached. Comes a time when you have to realize that the person we were in love with is no longer that same person....comes a time when you need to realize that certain actions are not easy to get over. So, some folks prefer to hang around and hope that things turn around while others move on and don't look back......whatever works best for you. Neither situation is easy but in my case, i tried to look at the cold hard facts and they all pointed in one direction. Honestly if my ex wife would call me in the next five minutes and tell me she wanted to give it another go, it would not change anything....I know what the answer "should be"....I know that I deserve a much "better" person than who she has become.
