What do I do now?

Thank you so much for replying.

I've been so sad lately. I thought that time would make it easier, but it's harder in some ways. He never really contacts me on a regular basis. We mostly only see each other when it's something to do with the kids. Today we have a meeting with the principal about our D. She may not make it to the 7th grade because she hasn't been turning in her homework. She has an "I don't care" attitude about everything it seems. When I talk to her about it she says that it doesn't matter if she cares, it's not going to change anything. It seems to me that her attitude is a product of the emotional toll the divorce has taken on her. I feel so bad for her.

What I'm not sure of is how to approach the DB when we have minimal contact. When we were hanging out this winter, we laughed and flirted... he acted like his old self. I could tell he was enjoying himself, but then he'd pull back like a snake bit him when he started to realize he liked it too much. I know it's a pattern with the WAS, but it's hard to read sometimes.

I want to shout my feelings out to him, you know? I want to make him understand what I feel, but I know that's counterproductive to what I want to accomplish. I just don't know what to do with this whole thing. Everyone in my life keeps telling me to move on. My mom's trying to get me to sign up for dating sites, but I'm just not ready. I definitely want to have someone special in my life... problem is, the someone special isn't feeling the same way. UGH!!!!
