Hey vasapro. You mean I'm 4-6 months ahead of you? If so, I hope all this helps you get through.

My W has another problem today. She called and I answered businesslike. She asks if she can drop S12 at the condo before his basketball game tonight.

This because her aunt's husband had a terrible irritable bowl syndrome accident last night. He unfortunately had to go to the hospital. He is OK... but there is a big mess all over the house. There is now a lot of stress and crisis in the house W says. She will go there to help clean up after she drops off S12.

I let her talk for a long while to describe everything. I validated and really listened. She cried a little about the situation and about S12 spending the night there tonight. S12 was also a little upset this morning about going all the way to the aunt's home and then back to the game.

On another note... she said she found an apartment and will move in a month. She will take S12 there later today to check it out.

Hmm... she just called again. Apologized for calling. She says now maybe S12 will spend the night with me if the issue at her aunt's isn't resolved. And she asks me to cut S12's hair for their trip to NYC tomorrow. We're talking on the phone like we used to. I'm not irritated... just even and businesslike. I'm doing it.

I am going to Crossfit tomorrow and will look for a dance class or maybe a cooking class. I'm reading information about really increasing my life motivation. I haven't had a drink in a few weeks now.

Happiness growing.
