Moving the blanket away from the castle

Hi Ruby! Thanks for coming by. Its so important to not let our emotions dictate our decision. ugh...such a challenge! I hope you are doing well (((( ))))

H respected a boundary of mine tonight. Was surprised by it.

In the past, after he left for the night, he used to call our housekeeper and ask for things he needed from the house (food, drink, stuff...).

So I asked (had to ask twice), that if he wants/needs something from the house, he should contact me, not our housekeeper, because this is now mine and the kids' house.

It was hard to ask for that. But I realized it had to be done.

So, tonight I received a text from him asking if it was ok if he swung by and took xy and z. I said yes and thanked him for asking me.

Weird, because if he was living here.....of course none of that would be needed. Bittersweet.

It felt nice to be respected like that in that small small way. huh. baby steps.
