Glad to hear she won't be speaking to him any more. I'm sure she's not happy about being lied to either. What good is therapy if you're not being honest? Good grief!

Like I said, trying very hard to be better. Today felt a little strange. I worked all day but my lunch is 1 hour long so I have time to come home and have a sandwich sitting on my couch instead of sitting in the breakroom at the store on a hard plastic chair. Marc had told me yesterday that Gabe had said he would come over today to help him mow the lawn. I didn't know what time he was planning on coming but guess who showed up shortly after I came home...yipee. It threw me because I try to never see him if I can help it. He was just hovering while he waited for Marc to get dressed and outside to work on the lawn. It never feels right having him inside my house.

On another note, Marc has reconnected with a boy he knew in elementary school. They went to different middle schools but are now in high school together. They used to argue a lot but they have both grown quite a bit and are now getting along pretty well. He had called Marc this afternoon to ask if he wanted to come hang out with him while his sister was having a birthday party. She had gotten one of those huge inflatable obstacle courses in the front yard. They spent all afternoon out there running through that thing and I spent the afternoon talking to his mom. She and I used to chat while they played soccer together. She knew Gabe and I as a couple (as did her H)and just can't understand what Gabe has become. Her H is a L and his family owns a bail bonding company so her H had quite a bit of contact with Gabe while he was working at the jail and then in the PD. His only words to me about it were, "Gabe just isn't the man I knew is he?"

So, all in all a strange afternoon but good to reconnect with people I used to know and watch my son have fun getting together with a good friend.
