25- I really don't like thinking about the possibility of having to see them together at our future major events... but I do know that it's a possibility. I only reached out to her in regards to the kids, but I can see how this might be mis-understood as being "ok" with everything. I don't plan on texting her for anything else now that both our kids are fine.
BF- I was planning my trip to Florida to be with my family..... but Vegas sounds great!! Not sure that my wallet will allow me to go I feel the same way about 'having someone next to you'. My mom and I have never really been on the same page in regards to how to comfort, but having her sit with me on the couch to watch a movie- is her way of caring and 'being there' for me. BUT it's *that* same mindset (just being near someone) that was the problem for my H, he needed the touch for love and comfort- since I was never *shown* that growing up, I didn't know how to do it. Through all my therapy, I've discovered that it is actually something that *I* need as well (and the absence of it in my parents) and I've learned how to express it to H... but it's too late.
James- thanks for your perspective. I never thought about how/if I was 'letting' my WAS influence my decision. He's actually said that he *supports* my decision to go, but he also doesn't *want* me to go.... I don't know if he means because it will be an inconvenience for him with his daily schedule, or if part of him likes knowing that I'm always around... since I can't mind read- guess I'll never know.
