Hmm, I guess it's possible that she had a "senior moment", but she has my e-mail with my last (maiden) name and also knows my parents. She is also divorced (acrimoniously) from XH's father...and it's HIS name. She's continuing to name me after the man that abandoned her and her kids, and the man who abandoned me! That's a doozy of a senior moment! LOL
Anyway, I just wrote her a brief e-mail in response, thanking her, telling her I'm doing great, and what's new with me, including that I'm seeing a NG, asking after her and her H (XSFIL). Of course, I cried writing the thing. Hey--I lost part of my family, and she was one of my favorite parts.
Friday with NG was so great, so fun. At the end of the night we ended up singing songs together and him playing his guitar. He wrote a song about me. He whipped it out and joked, "don't let this go to your head." I'm grinning just thinking about it. And...it totally went to my head!
I think I'm going to continue to have mixed-up feelings about NG and XH cause that's just the way it works for me. I feel old bonds until I make new ones.
But I think I'm doing a lot of things differently (and better) with this new guy than I've done before. I, mean, I'm different. DBing and divorce changed me into someone that's more fearless in certain ways. I hit rock bottom, and that changes you. Of course, I always have my family and close friends, but I lost my favorite person in the world, the person I'd built my world and dreams around.
There's nowhere to go after that but up.
