Keeping my distance from XW. I'm pleasant, but exit any contact with her quickly and politely. Big downside to that is that my present day struggles keep me away from my children also, which I try to mitigate by calling them in the mornings and before bed. Doing what I AM ABLE to do. Focusing on me for now, because without sorting myself out, I'm of no use to anyone, including my children.
Closing this chapter is painful, but I know the new chapters of my life will be much happier and fulfilling. I look forward to living that out, rather than re-reading the same chapter and expecting it to all end differently. All is can work on now is to make a different and better me.
