Upon advice of counsel I sent H an email yesterday re: separation agreement. I explained why I he be receiving papers via certified mail. Kept it short, factual and pleasant. Said good morning and thank you. He did not respond and I did not have that expectation. I did not mention our daughters and I have to admit I am so sad for them that he does not ask.
I feel like this was courteous and professional and completely detached. I am taking care of business and not being vengeful. That being said I also feel like I am not showing empathy or compassion for the man I have loved for over 25 years.
How do you reconcile having to be detached when your heart just wants to profess to them how much you love them? How can they ever find their way back if detachment is so detached?
