I don't know that I need a woman to make me feel good about myself as much as it felt good to have someone else affirming the positive things that I feel about myself. It was only this last week that things started to get particularly out of bounds with this friend. A lot of things have happened this week, it was the first week I had really actually been able to detach, W asked me to waive the 90 day waiting period on our divorce, She has cut me down to seeing my kids just two days a week because she and I had a big blow up two weeks ago last Friday, etc., and I have been really struggling to deal with the series of body blows that have landed over the last week. I feel pretty good about myself and my self esteem is a lot higher than it has been, it just really felt good to have someone else, without any kind of prompting, tell me that I was a good person and say the things that I really would like W to say to me.
