So, you found the secret answer to stop something you didn't start? Share it with the rest of us mortals...
Would it help if I substituted the word "bust" for "stop?"

You need to detach yourself some more. Don't think about trying to use an illness as a way to weedle back in. I think the suggestion of telling your w that you will be there if she needs something and leave it at that.
You're right, I think I do need to detach more. I think I will wait until at least a week from our last conversation before I text. I do not to pressure her at all.

Dropping the TRO should also not be thought of as an open invitation to open up a dialogue with your W except for the offer for support.
I know you're almost definitely right, but she did resume talking about wanting to remain friends and it must have taken a lot of courage to drop the TRO when her friends and legal advisors were advising her not to. Still, our conversation was so brief, I didn't really get a good sense of where her head is at, and I'm going to be very slow and cautious about this. Baby steps.

Be strong, Lefty...
I'm trying. Still GAL, PMA. One chapter into my third read of DR. Saw Pacific Rim last night. If you want to see a movie about giant robots punching giant monsters, it's the movie for you! One of my buddies going all the way back to grade school days is in town and we're gonna grab some coffee and chat. Going to church tomorrow for the first time in years and I'm going to pray for my W's health.
