We have pleasant talks and I remain upbeat and positive, but I worry about what is going on in her head. She isn't working and she has lots of free time, she often doesn't leave the house all day. I'm the LBS, but I think I'm in better emotional shape than her.
bboom,
I'm sure you are in much better emotional shape. Just remember you can't control her brain, so don't spend too much time worrying about what she's going through. Honestly, it's her problem and she's gotta figure it out on her own. Be prepared, though, as she will begin to battle with you over that very issue. I've just gone through that. My WAW didn't like it when I was "ahead" and quickly got her act together to counter my perceived "togetherness."
Our sitchs are very similar. My WAW is back in school, has MANY divorced friends, and moved out about 6 weeks ago to live with one of her GFs. Just now she's beginning to come back and spend more time with our D & me. The grass isn't greener. While it tore me apart, letting her go was the right thing to do.
Sandi2 is great at giving the F perspective on what our WAWs are going through. She's a tremendous resource. I myself have gotten a lot from her by just reading your thread. Thanks Sandi!
Keep your chin up and continue to GAL. You'll be just fine, no matter what.
