Thanks for the input. I had a GREAT weekend and it had nothing to do with W or M. My daughter and I went to OKC for her dance competition and we had a blast! It was one of the best times we have had in a long time. We laughed, joked, and had fun all weekend. She also won first overall in her solo and duet performances in her age group 9-11. I was the only dad there and all of her teammates hung out with me and we had a blast. The last night after her comp. we went to a fondue restaurant and had a great meal and just talked. It was a really good ending to a really good weekend!
W told me today that D couldn't stop talking about our weekend all night last night and told her every detail. That made me very happy inside
Not really sure what is going on with W and her family. Her sister has called me to tell me that she doesn't believe the OM is over and I don't know what to think except that I am going to DB and not worry about what I can't control. Its been 5 months now since this mess started and we are still in it with no end in sight. I know a lot of you have been at it way longer, so you know that it is tough. I will stick with it and we have another counseling session tomorrow. Our MC gave us both a book to read called "Boundaries" by Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend. Our homework assignment was the 1st three chapters by tomorrow and I have read two and they are really pretty good. I could see a lot of what is going on in our lives in these first couple of chapters.
I am really just journaling and updating. I feel better and more relaxed, especially last week. But today I have felt very nervous and uneasy and it may have to do with my uncle just died and my W's aunt is about to die. I have to go to his funeral on Wednesday and I don't think my W is going to go. It's a 3.5 hour drive and I am not sure she wants to do that right now, but I am just assuming.
About our friends, it is a really tough spot. They are asking for our help and it is hard to turn your back on them. Sandi, the problem we have is ALL of our friends are having problems and we never do anything together anyway. Its just her and her friends and my close friends live away, so I don't really go out with anyone.
I am rambling now so I will go read instead. Thanks for keeping up with me and I really appreciate the advice.
