Okay,

I sent the B-day email to my wife. I feel like a 1000 lb weight has been lifted from my shoulders. It might be counter to letting her go, but it felt like the right thing to do. Thanks to all of you for putting up with my nonsense the last week. I feel like I can refocus on GAL and detaching.

I know that I need to quit trying to get into my W's head...she will do what she thinks she needs to do. I need to do the same! I have been reading posts from the posters that have been on here for a while and I can see how they have detached from their sitch. They accepted the fate of their M, whatever the outcome maybe and they are at peace with that.
