It's been a couple weeks since I updated my sitch, though there isn't much to update. XW still has periods where she feels "lost and overwhelmed and confused", that she still has "hard days" where she "can't stop crying", and she isn't "even sure if she should be telling [me] that". That was Monday, and her toughest times do tend to coincide with PMS.
I'm still just doing my thing. Validate her when she talks, but otherwise I don't initiate contact unless it's kid specific. All the D's are doing well - I dropped off D9 at camp yesterday.
Still on the job hunt - waiting for the right one to come along. School and the kids are keeping me pretty busy. Very little GAL activity, but still hard to find time for it with school. I am going to a school get-together this weekend. Last Saturday my sister drove up and she, me, an the kids went out to eat, went bowling, and then went to the park. The girls and I went to church and then to the pool on Sunday.
Most of the time, though, I'm focusing on school or the kids, and then I go home to an empty apartment which still bums me out. That's my status quo.
