LP - When I broke it Saturday night, it was odd. Just the sound of her voice weakens me a little. The worst part about that - OM called her land line while she was talking to me. I overheard her speaking to him in the "sweet" voice that used to be reserved only for me. That was tough.
It was good to clear up a few things. She seems to be weakening a little on her position of no longer helping me financially after the divorce next year, even if both kids are still with me and in post secondary school.
I neglected to mention this before. On Sunday after our two talks she came by my house to drop off money she forgot to give to the kids. D19 and I were at my mom's, but S17 was home. He commented on how our dog (was hers) was so excited to see her. I can't help wondering if that made her think, even a tiny bit.
I will watch your thread closely and do my best to support you when you do break the darkness. Prepare yourself in advance and don't say or do anything without thinking. Be strong my brother.
