I had to meet in person with stbxw to give her things like her SS card, birth certificate, and such that she neglected to take.
She doesn't look healthy, physically or mentally. Gaunt, tired.... I looked into her eyes, trying to see who/what/where she was...Her eyes were pretty dull and pained....lost looking.
I know that look from my internship days in the psych wards many years ago... I hope she gets help, does her work, and finds peace and happiness. It's up to God and her now.
My middle son, who is sixteen, has started coming up to say good night to me now, this is new.
Also, he has gone from wanting to drop out of school and just get a job when stbxw was still living here, to now he is really applying himself in school, and is figuring out to get a college education.
It's so true what the vets say, be the rock, if your kids see you are okay, they will be okay.
I haven't felt this happy, content, and excited for each day in a long, long time.
Thank you all here....
