Thanks.. I too believe that the success in my career is coming from the changes I have worked towards.

In regards to W testing the waters...

.. I don't know honestly. My guess is that I don't think so. My experience with her "tests" are always baiting vs. friendly tests.

Overall I am pleasant with her. I am also very careful with her. I did reach out a couple of months ago and I got bit. I won't be asking again.

I will continue to be pleasant and applaud her one percent, but my life is none of her business anymore.

I don't do that to punish her, I do it to protect me. I do it to manage my expectations.

Because I still struggle with my co-dependency.

At the end of the day only time will tell. I'm trying to give it over to God as much as possible. Not try to control the outcome because of my fear.

For example: I got invited to a b-day party tonight. I'm going to go because I told my friend that she should throw something.. and she is.

Last year - I was recently separated and my w wanted to go as well - I told her to go if she wanted to celebrate that's friend's life.

She ended up going.

It may be a repeat this year. It may not. I'll be okay either way.

But she does decide to come, she better watch out. The dress I bought for it is hot!! whistle

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.

Love at all costs because you are loved well.
