How much longer in Separated?

[jon2911]

GF,
Lots to update on here, post a link and I'll check your thread. Apologies, lost where you were. You're in MLC now right?

Had a good visit with W after my last update, and then 2 weeks later. Shooting for seeing her every 2 weeks.

Lots of little bright spots happening. I still have no control over what she does down there, but we're talking every night, and we have plans for Memorial Day.

I've been really struggling at work, and need to vent more about that here instead of to W. She does listen though, and a couple weeks ago I shared with her some frustrations at work, and she told me some trouble she's having with FIL. He blasted her for not calling enough, after 45 minutes she said "Dad, I've got to go" and hung up. The next day she got a full page e-mail with bullet points. She hasn't responded to him, and hasn't really talked to him for a couple weeks. She was supposed to go for Mother's Day, but got what she called an "ice pick headache" the night before and was up all night. I got to talk to her for a while. There's a definite connection there, and also with how well our relationship is doing. Whenever she and FIL have a fight I notice a big difference.

It's been very hard not seeing her, but she's had a lot of drama with the grandparents. A refrigerator went out at their vacation ranch, and they arrived to find spoiled deer meat and blood all over the floor. Yuck. BIL loves to hunt. They had to return this weekend and completely re-tile the floor, and then SIL is coming in from New York for the next two weekends. Memorial Day is after that.

W is exhausted and VERY tired of her family. Which is usually good for me
