Well Forrest, it seems the "other shoe" has dropped. My son and she left early this morning for New England. She had my son call me early this morning and that was nice. I decided to call my son this afternoon just to say "hi" and I asked him what he was doing. "Where are you?" Wondering if their flight had been delayed due to weather, etc. "I'm in Mommy's condo!"
So, she has lied and misled me about her intentions for moving forward. I would bet money that our counseling sessions are over. She has moved on, she has her son, her condo and it's done.
So, my ring is off (hers has been off for 3 months now) and I'm moving forward. I love her, the door is open but I'm through bending and I'm through being her whipping boy for all the misery in her life. She has to own that she made the decision to leave, she made the decision to break this family apart and she has been playing me and taking advantage of my vulnerability from the beginning.
Time for me to set boundaries.
Guidance on moving forward?
I value your input. You have not been wrong thusfar!
