The old thread is at 100 so here is the next. Yesterday was to have been the final visit to court, papers signed, decree entered. This did not happen. Circumstances conspired to prevent it. W failed to provide a critical document in a timely manner so the hearing has been scheduled for the 24th.
W arrived with her entourage. She brought her surrogate mothers, an Aunt and a friend from church. We did not verbally interact except when necessary. Based on body language and tone of voice there is quite a bit of anger still. I hope she finds a way to move forward and find some happiness.
The delay irritates me a little bit, emphasis on little. I have always been a planner and not knowing how my budget will shake out is forcing me to delay setting timelines. I suspect the delay is also inhibiting some of her healing. I know this is pure speculation, but I am confident I knew this aspect of her personality; she needs to put a check mark in the box.
When this journey began, a basket case abandoned beside the road was I, now, not so much. Though it found me again have I. I like myself. I will improve. AIO
I will remember from our relationship what I deem to have been good and allow what I do not to fall away. I have learned some things from W’s and my past that set us upon this path. Some may have been avoided, but there are others which probably could not have been. The point being we would have had to deal at some point in time no matter what I anticipated or accomplished.
My sister sent me a card the other day. A simple message “When God closes a door he opens a window for you to fly out of”
