I do not want to give up at all. And I need to do a better job of not talking about my sitch with family and friends. I should be enjoying their company and having a good time.

Had a nice little interaction with W earlier today. I was picking the kids up and she was telling me about the upcoming schedule. In a few weeks she will be house sitting and baby sitting her friends child. I told her not to get any ideas about the baby. She asked what I meant, and I told her I wasn't quite ready for another baby. It was the biggest smile I have seen out of her in awhile. Yeah it might have been a little much, but it did get a very positive reaction.

Finally signed up for coaching. Thought I could figure it out on my own, but have realized that I need some guidance. Besides I have always had trouble asking for help, so it feels good to take this step. I am looking forward to the coaching.
Any advice on how to be best prepared for my first session?

No advice eyesopen as I am so new to all this but just wanted to say how much I admire your strength and continued DB'ing. I am literally a couple of weeks in and my journey is just beginning, I hope I can be as strong as you, it's so hard hey. I am sure that getting a coach will help you on your journey and keep you positive and strong as you continue wishing you all the very best,
A little frustrated this morning. My s seems to be more sensitive lately. Not sure if it is normal, or if it is due to his parents being apart. So I asked if she thought it would be a good idea for us to see a c together to best handle him. She thinks everything is fine. I suppose if she admits there may be an issue it would damage her justification for leaving.

She also brought up Halloween night. There is a classmate of my s that is having a party. She is going to take the kids there and asked if I wanted her to bring them over after. Our children go to bed at about 7:30, so I told her to just keep them because I don't want to be shuffling them around. Of course she doesn't think it would be shuffling. I said that if we were all under the same roof, I would tell her it take them and I would stay home and hand out candy. There wouldn't even be question about it. Oh to get in the mind of a WAW for a day.

I'd be prepared with a short version of your situation. A list of your 180s, a list of what's worked, and what hasn't.

Just received a text, "still feel like I am standing still". Any advice on a good reply, or do I not even reply?
Maybe validate? "This must be really hard for you"
