Jack - what kind words...thanks so much. They were nice to read today. My attorney told me something similar - that he thinks that I have become more confident, handled all of this with grace and dignity and, when ready, will someday find someone who will give me the happiness that I deserve. He was being kind so I didn't feel the need to point out to him that I am responsible for my own happiness and have already found it. I will just assume that he meant find someone to enhance my happiness...
Drew - It does (get better)...although I still have moments, I recognize that they are just that...moments...that will get better with time.
Today is my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. There is a big party which my daughters were not happy about attending because OW is there. There was a vow renewal this morning and D13 was livid that OW was in the family pictures. I just got a call from D15 who was venting about her presence at the party. I told her to go and hang out with her cousins and focus on her grandparents who are excited that she is there.
Both girls are so angry. They spend so much time dwelling on her, speaking negatively about her, etc. I walk a fine line - I want them to be able to vent, but I also don't want them to have this much focus on something that they perceive to be so negative. I'm thinking that they need to read DB...
Today I am a little sad. Of course, I would love to be a part of this celebration, but certainly understand that I can't. But it also hits home that I will never have my own 50th wedding anniversary. I guess this is just one of my little moments that I know will pass.
And, Jack. I have never been banned either. Does that make us boring?!?!?!
