Thanks Cat and SR for checking in! Glad you had a great weekend Cat!Hope you get a chance to email me a bit about it-love that whole escape thing.Especially with a few friends.
I`m lucky enough to have a gang of gfs who are great fun and yet know nothing(unless intuitively) abuot my sitch. My best nights out have been with them. Plus all our kids get on like a house on fire.
Sticking to my goals. Haven`t any trouble avoiding h. He`s calmer, doesn`t seem to have the need to get at me at the moment He is getting more involved with the puppy though and honestly lavishes the affection and conversation on that dog that he doesn`t give to the kids(and me of course...)
Dreading mediation next week but hoping it won`t be as emotional as session 1.
Had good fun with the kids taking the puppy for her first walk and later on having a cook in. That`s where we put the music on full blast and cook a few dishes/bake cookies together. Watched TV together for a while.
Its meditation that`s taking me through a lot though.Really helps me feel strong, protected and calm. And that things will be ok. Funny how part of me still really wants H to stay-I`d love if would just turn around and say Hey lets work at this-but part of me accepts whatever will happen.
Cat I know a new marriage could be born out of this. H,however, does not. That`s why he has to go.
Would love to have fun this evening! Haven`t decided what that should be. But I`ll work on it!
