Snodderly,thank you for saying I did well. I'm just trying so hard to not stir the pot you know? I basically walk on egg shells when we do interact.
Eric, detaching is for ME buddy. I know this, but sometimes have a hard time.

The more you detach the more you force her to find her focus/direction.
IF there's a chance for her to come out of the fog it will NOT be with YOU "guiding" her out of the fog. This is HER Journey and it's a solo one.
Keep detaching...if you change course now and go back to pursuing, you could blow it for good.
Please stop telling her you miss her and what you had and all that stuff. You have said PLENTY...
I know 25. As much as I would like to guide her, I know that there is really nothing I can do and guiding her could actually hold her back.
When I told her that I missed what we had, I was just trying to agree with her text, but I guess I should just keep my mouth shut. Like I've said before, this all seems so counter-productive.
BTW - I agree with Eric. That was an AMAZING post. I've probably read it ten times already.
Latest update:
I spent this evening filling out more paperwork for the D. I waited until the last minute because it has to be received by the court and my W by Friday and I'm hoping that she forgets to get hers done. I'm sticking mine in the mail tomorrow morning. W hasn't even completed hers yet.
I've had some decent days, but man, I'm still having a hard time detaching 100%.
Still praying for a miracle.
Thanks again for everything.
Tad
