So yeah, detach, move on, GAL, and carry on. You are "getting" it and someday you will laugh at this...(well, at least parts of it)
J-
Let's hope I can look back at this and laugh. At least just give a head shake LOL
Last night my friend came over (the one who lost her son last summer). She looks fantastic. I was sort of expecting something a bit different, but she always looked good. She said she lives on the denial bus and hasn't really accepted her son's death until just recently. He died in July and she gave herself until January and then decided she needed to make herself move on. She also has 3 other grown kids as well as a son who is 8. We talked a bit about him and his name kept popping up in the conversations. I felt so bad. I cannot even imagine what she is going through.
Exh is due this morning for a visit. I am thinking about excusing myself to work on my school while he is here.
Greek has a signature line that says something along the lines of "be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle". It's true, and there are many people dealing with crap that's a lot worse than the things we're dealing with. Still, this IS hard stuff that we are going through.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
