I'm about to go see my IC - thank goodness! Lotus, I don't know that Mr. A really wants to reconcile. How does someone "prove" that they're serious? I mean, what BA suggests makes sense - see if he'll go to counseling. I don't know.

I plan to talk to my IC tonight about how to initiate R talk with Mr. A. I don't want to put off R talk anymore. That seems so false and stupid. We're divorced, for Pete's sake! There is no more business as usual!

It's just a matter of figuring out how to talk to Mr. A about our relationship in an authentic voice because there's a huge emotional abyss between us. I still love him, sure, but in place of the emotional closeness that was there before, now there's skepticism and mistrust. And over a year and a half of walking on eggshells and all that other BS.

We'll see what IC says... I always love to hear what you all think, too. Posts are much appreciated!

Sincerely,
Mrs. A
