This is such an overwhelming stage of my life, it will be seared into my mind forever. Unfortunately it will also be seared into our kids minds!
Like most of your comments, the above post is spot on. Your help, guidance and clarity is greatly appreciated. Acc-I am forever thankful regardless of the outcome.
I spent years frustrated thinking it was only about money. In another one of your posts you clearly outlined the reasons behind the money/love connection which makes a lot of sense.
This whole experience is like some kind of drug treatment program. What do they say, “One day at a time”.
I sent W the email yesterday and then I called to talk to the kids this morning and W answered. She brought up the email and said it was a very nice note and that she would respond to it later today. I didn’t really say much in response.
I am not rude when we talk however a lot of the time I am short and to the point, just business. I sense she wants me to open up more, I can tell that she’s getting a bit frustrated by it.
I am usually not lost for words but this whole process has made me guarded. I know I can’t say whatever I want or I would mess things up, no doubt. I am always concerned I would say the wrong things.
Even though W is a bit frustrated by my short responses, I am ok with that. I feel highly confident things would be a lot worse if I was always asking her what she’s up to and letting her know every little detail about what’s going on in my life, which isn’t a ton, just working a lot.
