Newman, Thanks for checking on me. I been also watching your status. Looks like you and W are going down the right path. Good news with the cuddling that you were allowed.
GALing is going OK. It still feels unnatural for me to leave the family and go do things with friends. I need to work on this. I still exercising with really makes me feel good. I also have made contact with 3 of my old friends that I have had little contact with. Crazy thing about that is 2 of the friends are my age and are both going through tough times in their lives as well. The third friend is much older, sort of was my mentor at work. He shared with me that his wife had an PA about 20 years ago. He really has insight on dealing with this struggle. So I have a broader group of support. Definetly helps.
Kids are doing fine. They do not know that there Mother has made these comments or plans. Although kids are not stupid they have noticed that Mom has been grumpy at times. I've been able to talk to them and sort of explain things in there terms. But the W is still operating as normal around them. There is still nothing emotional or physical between us. Although we are talking to each other and are pleasant towards each other. I am detached and waiting for the fog to clear. DM
