Great advice on the WOA approach. I will try that.
Unfortunately, this morning I was feeling exceptionally weak. I slept maybe 3 hours, stared at the ceiling for a very long time thinking about my situation and whether there was any hope. It felt grim. My D will be leaving today to spend the next week with the W. I have not been away from her, EVER, for an entire week. I know this is going to be brutal on me....to make a long story short, I broke down and phoned my W. I KNEW I shouldn't have, but I fell back into that same old routine. I asked her if she wanted to go for breakfast with me and our D. She said, "oh honey I didn't go to sleep until 3am, I am just so tired". I replied that was funny,because that is when I woke up for the day and I knew what she was saying. I said we could do it later if it was something she was interested in, and she said she would call me. I kick myself for calling. I knew better, but I still did it....so dumb....back to work on detaching :-/
