Hey GM - I am actually in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. I did, however, get married in Sedona (and popped the question there) and visit from time to time....it's only about an hour and a half away. It really is beautiful up there and as an AZ resident I tend to take it for granted. I am sure your little girl is soaking in some great scenery despite the fact that for a NJ resident it is hotter than the the devil's wool sweater right now.
It seems rather repetitive and empty for me to say "I know" when told I need to GAL. That said...I know. I just need to overcome the few things left that keep me glued in place. Honestly, I am getting better....and as I have said before the amount of time it has taken me to recoup from XW moving out is MINUSCULE relative to BD....it's not even an apples to apples comparison.
At the moment I am getting all our stuff packed up and preparing for the great journey to San Diego with S. We leave later today. I am nervous, anxious...but I will do my best not to think about her.
Hey crimson, hope you & son are having some great fun & bonding time.
FYI, all 3 of my kids speak of their earliest memories, which are of things that happened near the age of 3...this stuff always counted. But it's starting to make it in your son's "record book"!
Even foggy or forgotten events still foster good bonding emotions. But soon, very soon if not already, you'll be making mutual memories for the both of you, so please - enjoy the gift of time with him.
I don't want to talk about your xw in every post. If there's nothing new to report, no need for temperature taking.
She let you go & knows it hurt you. So chances are she'll make an effort to compensate. She doesn't like remorse or guilt, but who does?
(And besides, That's not really an "effort" though, is it?)
So enough of her...
Keep us posted on your S time! Back to You!
