moving on

[Ahoy]

My date went great -- such a nice guy. He insisted on paying because "you take care of everyone else, so someone should take care of you sometimes." I told him I'd treat him next time. He was reassuring about how I was dealing with D14's struggles, told me to just keep being the best mother I could be, and that's about all you can do. It was fun. I don't want anything more than friendship, but we came up with some fun adventures to pursue around the area, and it's nice to think that I'll have a partner in social crime who is not connected to my H in any way, but who knows what I'm dealing with, and had been through it before and can sympathize. I'll just have to make sure I am clear about the fact that I'm in no way ready for any kind of relationship beyond friendship. Off to yoga with a friend! Have a great day, all!
