Thanks, the compliments are easy to say...because they're true. I hope I'm not just giving myself false hope, but she seems to be dehumanizing me less and less each time we see each other. There was a point when I felt like she needed to view me as the source of all evil to justify her actions, now she seems softer, and smiles occasionally. Though usually only when surprised by a comment or gesture and immediately reverts to the stern face. Even if this doesn't work out, it was worth it to see her smile at me one last time.

My son made the comment that she is on the phone so much because her friendsa re helping her when the divorce seems too much. I'm not sure what that means or if its + or -, but it's something.

I noticed the other day that I enjoy the new me as well. It seems to be a better fit than the man I was becoming. I like it, I have loyal friends, and fair weather friends, and value them all for what they bring to the table. And at the end of all this when my friends and family look at me they will know I fought for something bigger than myself, and something a world more important. I'm comfortable with that regardless of outcome.
