Thanks T2! I see what you mean about cycling through the stages. For awhile I was really past the anger stage. Really thought I had gotten past that one and then suddenly it was back! I actually stopped myself while I was fuming over some stupid thing and thought "Whoa, you're past this buddy!". I guess you read about those kind of things and think one follows the other and you finally reach acceptance but in real life it just doesn't work that way I'm seeing.
At first when my W moved, she wasn't asking for my D14 to stay with her. Now we're on "her" week #2 and I think it's the quiet around the house, not having to deal with making dinner for her or asking about her day, etc. Gives me a lot more time to "think". Last night I realized that I still have my wedding picture out in my living room. I hadn't even thought about it but noticed it just sitting there. Time to get rid of triggers like that. I probably subconsciously had seen many times.
Thanks for posting T2. Sometimes I am much too hard on myself in trying to get to the "getting over" my M ending. Soon I'll be making new memories that will be better than thinking about a past that is long over.
