I hate that you're going through this, rppfl. I have been praying that your husband will come to his senses.
1 Corinthians 15:34
Thanks, I appreciate the prayers.
Back to School Night was interesting. H has never liked those events, and since I only had one schedule to walk, I was fine going alone and having him get dinner for the girls. But all my friends asked about H, which was awkward, although they didn't realize it, I just said he was fine and dandy thanks. It makes me wonder what to say after he actually moves out, do I continue to say fine and wait for someone else to share the gossip? I guess it will depend on who it is.
And last night also put my social fears into context. I went through the directory and noted which families have divorced parents. The count is 86. Out of about 600 families. And of the 86, many have remarried. So the percentage of single moms/dads is really low. Fact is, I don't really have any divorced friends. There's one mom at D11's new school, but she and her ex are "best friends" (her words) and he still pays for her to be a SAHM. She wont' go to any social event without him, she might as well be M. A couple of weeks ago, IC told me I might need to get some new friends, and I think she's right. Not that I'm giving up my old ones, but they just aren't as available to me as a single as they were a couple. Over the summer when H was out of town, I went to a couple of Meet-Up events and met some people there. I haven't been to anything since school started, but I'm willing to give those people a try. Being social outside my job is hard for me, but I'm determined to GAL.
