Punkin, The anger you are experiencing is normal. In time, it will go away.
I'm glad you got a dog. I'm sure Luca will be a lot of company for you in the days ahead. Your life is changing each and every day and I see more and more positives for you along the way.
You are going to be an extremely busy grandmother in the not so distant future. I'm sure your family is excited about the new additions. Just be sure that you carve out some "me" time for you with all of the changes/additions.
Bea's right, eventually some of them will begin to wake up and come to realize what a screw up they've made of their lives and the lives of their families. They will not know how to reconnect in a positive way and it will take a long time for them to finally figure it out and try to make amends. Of course, they don't realize that you can't recover the years that they were AWOL.
Please take care of yourself.
Bea, Rip Van Winkle does fit with what they go through because they are not of this world when the switch is flipped. I had to chuckle because that is what I use to call my xh many years ago.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
