Kafe, right you are! I recognized the "clingy" and have since started LRT. So far, it's very difficult, but I'm sticking to it. I scheduled MC at a church for the 23rd. It's far off, I know, and I may find another place. However W wanted it to be at a church, and I found what I hope is the best one in our area. She has been at the house all day with her sister packing (I ended our lease so we have to be out by the 1st), and texted me a couple hours ago asking if I can pick up S2 from daycare because her and sister are doing things over here (apparently meaning at the house, but I really don't know because she is staying with family 30 minutes away so she could mean in this area of town). I texted back "absolutely" and that was it. I will see her this evening when she goes to the house to get him, and I will be happy and ask no questions and not try to make any conversation. It's small, I know, but I was asked to do a favor and I'm going to do it (of course, it's my S!) and that's one little way that she can see that I'm there for her and for S too. Baby steps I guess. I admit it absolutely kills me that I have no idea what W and here sister are doing. But I'm trying to squash that. By the way, my talk with Joanne yesterday was great. It was immensely inspiring and gave me new hope.
M-36. W-27 S-2 W moved out, filed for D after my A. I'm DBing the best I can! Learning every day, praying and hoping.
