Labug: I guess my yardstick at this point is W-initiated contact. I laid it all on the line earlier this month... pouring my heart out and setting my boundaries to try to protect myself... and asking that she not contact me while OM is in the picture.
I understand that patience is so very key here, and I'd be insane to think that after just a little more than a week I'd see some change, much less actually HEAR from W.
I need to keep reminding myself that nothing needs to be done. That I've taken a HUGE step in my life and in the R. And now that the "ball is in her court" I just need to stop thinking about it so much, keep focusing on making and applying the positive changes in my life and truly become a better person.
It's just tougher some days than others. And today is one of those days... Where I can SO CLEARLY see the future I'm shooting for, but it's just so out of reach.
