Started IC last Thursday. First time, ever. Surprisingly easy to talk to. Grasped my sitch pretty quickly and gave some pretty good analogies and some sound advice. Will continue to work with him. Seeing him next week.
XW1 is still in hot pursuit. XW1 lives in another state. On Thursday, she drives 2 hours to come down and take my dog to the vet for me. She also shows up with comfort food (big roast). After work, S7 and I go with her to steakhouse for dinner. She buys, in celebration of me getting permanent position at work. She hangs out for several hours after S7 goes to bed, talking. She understands that I'm not ready for a relationship, but she's also going to do everything she can to build me back up as quickly as possible and be first in line when I'm better. Scares the hell out of me, and I'm going to discourage the visits for a while and put some space between us.
After not speaking to STBXW all week, she texts me early on Friday to ask if she could pick up S7 after work (7:30pm) to spend the night for the weekend. I was happy for her to be interested in spending time with him, particularly starting on a night when roommate's daughter wasn't going to be there.
I went out last night and watched a friend's band play. Hung out at the "band family" table. Met a platonic female friend there and we spent some time chatting. Tonight, heading over to a buddy's house and playing some guitar.
Very strange to have two nights in a row free. I miss my son, but I'm glad he's getting to spend a bit more time with his mom.
