Now separated. Am I doing the right things? Pt 2

[Arsene]

Sounds like you're getting this right mate. I do understand how you feel about it. As much as I want to be next to her, when we are, it just feels so strange. When I'm away and I know we're going to meet soon I get anxiety attacks, my stomach gets all knotted up and for some reasons, I'm very apprehensive.

It's just that right now, with it being the Muslim holiday, no one is working and since I have custody of my D8, W is around a lot and I just have nowhere to go so we are in close proximity.

It's not all bad, Yesteday we actually had a great family day and usually after such a step forward, I get sh@t on for a few days but today, she's here again and she even proposed a day trip as a family. Fortunately (or unfortunately), D8 didn't feel like sitting in the car driving out of town and she said so (she wanted to go to one of the local fairs with games and all).

I don't want to read too much into this because, OM is now on holiday with his family so W is alone and this might be the only reason she wants to hang around but still, it's nice when things are good but at any moment, I expect she'll turn and give me a taste of her venom.

Bottom line, I understand how you feel in your present detached state.

Keep it up if it works for you.

Cheers,
