And she's gone. Next time I see my STBXW she won't live here anymore.

I kept the whole weekend positive and helpful. I was chatty and did any favours she asked. I was friendly and warm and said nothing that even the most twisted interpretation could describe as mean or abusive.

I was perhaps a bit too sad puppy dog as she left but there's a limit to the amount if emotion I can hide.

I didn't say any of the I love yous, I wish we could work it out that I wanted to say. I just said I hope she has a good time at the gig she is going to tonight.

Kids for the rest of the day then a good cry tonight I expect. Then Belgium tomorrow.
