To no surprise, she did not show up to MC.

So how to move forward?- I've got to continue to GAL, spending time with the kids, going to church and focusing on making myself a better person.

My feelings being what they are right now, I'm dreading any future interactions with W. School events, holidays, coordinating schedules for kids... I have no desire to even speak with her right now. It's too bad that it took her over a year and an OM to realize what I realized maybe 2 mos after BD- that we needed to work on ourselves.

MC asked me what I'd say if W came back 6 mos from now saying she wanted to work on us. It's obviously too soon to answer a question like that, but I only hope that I can continue to use this time to focus on improving myself so that should that scenario happen, I'm in a better place emotionally than right now.
