Uggh, we massively screwed up on Saturday and opted to go out to a Mardi Gras function at alst minute after a long day and neither of us had eaten. Turned into a absolute nightmare.
OM's sister and her husband showed up and (x)W just up and disappeared which add in the booze on a empty stomache, I wasn't ready for and well, we had a real nasty blow out that almost ruined everything.
But, we persevered and in the end both realized our wrongs.
Another 180 for me was in the midst of everything going on, one of (x)W's girlfriends had driven us and we ended up leaving her to walk home and she was understandibly pissed, but tore in to (x)W way much more than neccessary. So I took the initiative the next morning to call her and apologize in a voice message and let her know that it was mostly my blame for what happened. That's a first for me.
Her friend did text me back later thanking me for making the apology, however she has bigger issues with (x)W that don't concern me she says. I think that's sugar coated bularchy since this friend is the 'catalyst' in everything that tranpired to break up our marriage and I think she is really just upset that I am (x)W's focus (as it should be) and not her and hanging out and partying like a high schooler all the time.
Other than than that, s12 now S13's birthday was nice and quiet. (x)FIL finally spoke casually with me for a bit, and we're all supposed to go out to dinner later this week for S13's birthday. So, we'll see how that goes.
Thus, we survived the biggest blow out to date and nobody's feelings got hurt (at least between (x)W and I) and we've made the resolution that perhaps it is best that we just move away from all this rhetoric in town.
So, that's our focus for the week and get something in action here as far as a place of our own, pronto.
