W told me she is done & doesn't love me anymore-P2

[Snowman]

I am more calmed and centered for sure. I concur that it is healthy detachment and I don't want it confused for apathy as many of us do.

My 2.8 year old S can drive me crazy but I love him so much. He is a true little boy that loves to test the boundaries like 2 year olds do. I have read Love and Logic Magic for Early Childhood and have been applying its principles. It definitely is working with him and I plan to continue.

I have always tried to be kind in my communication with my W because I know I will have to communicate with her for the rest of my life.

Labug-I agree that 2 loving parents in different homes is better than 2 crappy parents in the same home but my W used that exact phrase in one of our early R discussion as a reason to separate or D and said that why her parents should have D earlier. I don't think we were crappy parents which I know you are not implying but I just don't like how the world uses that as an excuse to D or separate. It's the classic excuse for not wanting to address their problems in their R and using that excuse as why.

Anyway, we had a great time eating Valentine candies that my S got and my parents dropped by a Valentine's package for my S as well. I love to just hear my S laugh and smile. It is simple but all that's required. Learning to appreciate the small simple things in life.
