H was out until very early this morning since Sat afternoon. I brought him and the kids breakfast and coffee before church today and then went to a lunch afterwards. H accepted the food and seemed to appreciate it. I believe he is open to my kindnesses again, which is a new thing for him since this began.
He noticed my new licenseplate which was his mother's before it was mine. She got it when she was divorced from his dad, who was an alcoholic and abusive. He cheated on her, married OW, which lasted for a year. He cheated on OW with a second OW, married her, and if I remember correctly, went back to first OW to cheat on second OW. He died of lung cancer, leaving the second OW as a widow. She's very sweet and really loved him and H's mother forgave her. However, like father like son, huh? H's mother has been M three times and the third time was the charm for her. (second was a M of convenience. Her best friend wanted kids and she needed someone to raise them, so they agreed to M only to have a stable unit until one of them found their "soul mate" - and MIL did and they D, and she remarried third time, being happy today.) H thinks he will follow in her footsteps, but really, I think he's following in his dad's more. MIL was honest with her second H and they never were in love. Anyway, just a bit of journaling to remember the weird things that went on in his family.
I'm feeling very good about everything lately. I got my taxes filed, am working on my finances, really trying to take the bull by the horns. It's hard, I'm still in avoidance of the icky stuff I don't want to have to deal with... and today in church, the sermon was on avoiding conflict and he mentioned how we tend to put our heads in the sand. Sounds so familiar. LOL.
Howe everyone had a wonderful, GAL filled weekend.
