AS - I agree. W actually texted me, I didn't initiate the contact. I actually did need to know what was going on with the divorce paperwork and her intentions because otherwise I would have had to file a counter suit. Since it's switched to a dissolution "officially", I don't really have to do anything except wait to review paperwork.
Quite honestly, with that taken care of, I can think of zero reason to contact W, so the "going dark" can begin in earnest. The next time I would be required to see her would be our hearing on 10/7. D10 has her own cell phone, so if I want to talk to the kids, I can call her.
Thanks for your firm responses. I really am getting there. It's one thing to know something in your head, it's another for your heart to catch up to it. Normally, that little text exchange would've messed me up for days, but I was pretty much over it in 4 hours. Also, we only texted back and forth a few times, and I stopped it and left it when normally it would've been a two hour conversation.
So, I can see the detaching happening, and the ability to not jump on the roller coaster quite so much - granted, I may only be 10% there, but tomorrow, I'm shooting for 15%!
