I guess the timeline thing is a wait and see what happens, and then figure out the next step. I like the concept that family time is now a 180 so I am on board. This is where acceptance and GAL, as well as focusing on myself and not the R, is going to be very important. I do not want to set myself up for more of what I have been going through this week so, caution is the word of the day.
So, I took today off to spend it with the kids. The W came over to pick them up this afternoon (she has them today and tomorrow). When she came over, I proposed to her that we all have dinner together tomorrow to celebrate new years. She agreed and said that sounded nice. She then made the comment that she was going to be painting her new house over the weekend. I told her that I did not have too much planned with the kids and that we could come over for awhile and help. She nodded and smiled but did not say anything. I am guessing she already has help and we all know from whom. This is going to be the hard part with this approach...dealing with aspects of her life that I really do not want to know about.
acceptance, acceptance, acceptance...I going to get this tatooed on my butt tomorrow.
so what is the current status of your situation? Have a great time tonight with your kids!
