Just Keep Livin' #3

[JKL2009]

Today was a tough one - went to Ikea to buy a bed since I need one with the WAW moving out soon and taking the current one with her. W was there with me, wondered off in the store while I shopped. Later at home we were sitting down on the couch and started talking, and she said she broke drown and cried at the store. She said this all was getting really hard, and it "wasn't fair" because she never thought all of this would end up as it did.

I told her I understood and even agreed, and that this is the path we are on now and just talking it one step and a time. I think space will be good for us both, and she agreed. This is all so stressful and overwhelming at times, but we'll see what the next phase is like. I am trying to look at SmileyPerson's approach, using the "smile and wave" tactic as much as possible. This is the choice W made, though I don'y hammer that point she knows it and admits to feeling guilt more these days, and she will continue to see the need to see her outcomes of the choices come to light.
