Please send your best wishes on my way folks.
This weekend will be my sons 21st birthday. I fly down to the city to be part of it. I finally found out last night that the W will be there (facebook list of who is coming).
This is going to be very hard. This is the first time I have seen the W for about 4 months, either face to face or even talking/texting. It will be the first time I have seen/talked to her family for about 6 months. And the first time I have see/talked to my best friend who defriended me on Facebook.

I know the DB principles I need to apply: friendly neighbour approach. I know I shouldn't talk about the marriage, the wife, or any of this situation. I know I should simply say hello to these people, a quick how are you, thanks for coming to the party, then move onto other people who won't be an issue.

While the mind will be doing this, I am scared that the heart will act differently. While mentally I am great without seeing the wife or family, I have no experience off putting this mental strategy practice to use face to face.

So let me go to this party tomorrow night, with the whole of the DB crew supporting me during this tough time. Thanks all.
