I have been away from here for the past week. I have not moved back into the house. Just not strong enough yet. I really don't want to disrupt my stepdaughter final year of high school by feeling as if she has to move out with her mom. She would be welcome to stay at the house but I know she would go with her mom. After the last week I have finished reading DR and doing LRT method. I was doing that before, and felt W was starting to reach out some. I have open my own checking account,savings, credit card etc. I did go talk to a lawyer to see what my rights are and I came away feelng alot better. Lawyer told me if everything that I was telling her was lagit, My W may have to pay me and I would still get the house. Anyway that is the furthest thing from my mind now. The only contact that I have had with my W is that this past Weds. my stepdaughter text me to see if I could feed and let the dog out of the house while they went to Maine for couple days. I said sure. W has no family except brother and his family had to work on thanksgiving this year. So she went to Maine to get away. Doing a little snooping around house did notice that W is no longer wearing wedding ring. I noticed it in her jewlery cabnet. It hurt somewhat to see that but I got over it. I spent thankgiving day up to my brothers. All my family was there so at least I still have them. Thanksgiving was a little tough on me. W did text me on friday to let me know they had returned and to thank me for takin care of dog and to let me know the doctor called. Stepdaughter had basketball game today and I was waiting to see if W would text me to go to game together. She did but said she and daughter were going shopping afterwards and that we could just meet there.Everything was fine at game. We carried on conversation like nothing is wrong.I get so confused of why she is acting the way she is. We have always got along very well. One thing I did pick up on with W is that in the past she would make referance of her daughter as 'my daughter'. Today I she did say " our daughter'. I know I can't read to much into that but I listen for anything positive. Before the game was over I mentioned that I was going to look at cars for stepdaughter. She said she would like to go as well. So we all did. After we went our seperate ways. I am not moving back to the house anytime soon. I know it is a mistake on my part but as of now I am thinking of my stepdaughter. She has been through alot of stress over the last year and I don't want to add any more. Besides moving back what other advice is there. Do I intitiate any contact with W or just let her contact me? Do I ride to and from basketball games together? If we do I am going to make it perfectly clear to her that there is no R talks while we are riding. I am GAL as best I can. It is just so hard for me to fully understand why this all happening. Sorry to ramble on I just had to vent.
