A small group of us took our kids out for Halloween last night. We ended up running into my W’s sister and brother. I gave them both a hug and we had some brief chit chat. It was slightly awkward because I've always been close to them and I hardly see them at all anymore. I didn't view it as that big of a deal though.
A lot of you know I've detached a lot more over the last month. GAL has been helped with this a ton!!!! W and I briefly talk a couple times a week, mainly because of the kids or finances. Recently her tone of voice seems a little lighter or softer for some reason. To be honest, I don’t really care that much. I can’t help but think she knows I am pulling farther away. I also know she’s seen some of my FB GAL pictures recently. I am well aware my GAL and detachment is for myself. It’s not a ploy to see what W will do, say, react, etc…..
Just plugging along out here in the beautiful pacific northwest. Tonight’s going to be another fun night hanging out with some friends.
