Detachment issues

[AntoniaB]

Thank you so much, ZG. That was really a nice post you left me.

It is 3 days since he texted me about the cat and I didn't reply. No word from him. To tell you the truth I'm kind of glad. I felt like if he followed up I'd have to basically say look, no contact means no contact, I'm not playing this time. So maybe he got the message by my not responding.

I can't believe I'm saying it but I actually wish that damn divorce decree would get here already. Every day I want it to come because I am petrified that it will end up coming either on my birthday in the mail or be final on my birthday--which is the last day of this month. If the divorce is final on my birthday, I will NEVER hear the end of it from my parents. And on top of it, it would be awful for me, too. It would be such a knife-twist. I know it's out of his hands, but my parents will never get that. They have said they will NEVER forgive him for anything, and this will just make their venom worse.

As for something good, though, I organized a birthday dinner for myself and a single friend and we are going out with our coworker friends tonight to celebrate. I told my single friend that no one else was going to do anything for us so we may as well do for ourselves :-)
