I guess I'm coming across as super-whiny. This wasn't really my intention. I was just trying to get back into the flow of posting here.

The school thing wasn't a stress in terms of the paperwork, my W did that on Monday. The stress there is trying to utilize my connections in district to make it happen. That and the gravity of actually getting him into the other school since this will not go well if W sees the OW at the school we're boundaried for.

I've also been smart enough to not voice my neediness to my W at all. I haven't tried to hold her hand, hug her, or anything like that. I've stayed away from starting any R talk, she knows where I stand.

The funny thing is, I'm actually doing much better at not needing her approval to feel good about me. I'm getting to where I feel pretty ok about me.

I think I'm just trying to get the sad off my chest here so I can avoid it when she's around.

I do appreciate the perspective you provide, though. A few months isn't REALLY that long. I'm admittedly low on emotional resources. IC is tomorrow evening.

D talk has slowed, a lot.
Gradually working on things together. Still separate bedrooms.
Slow and Steady wins the race.
