MLCer and EA w/ OW

[Jer2911]

Had a great spiritual counseling session yesterday that I think is helping me with detaching more... And helping me to understand the prayers that are coming from my soul (healing for W regardless of outcome, healing for me, asking for understanding of God's will and path that I need to be taking right now) vs. the prayers that are coming from my ego (restoration of the M)...

Doing a lot to take care of myself today -- exercising, running some errands, having lunch with a friend at the school district, and then will spend some time journaling/reflecting later today before I have to go get the kids from school.

She is gone for the week on a "silent retreat" that really isn't a silent retreat -- she is using this week to deepen her escape from her issues... But I am choosing the rest of this week to give myself a semi-silent retreat (at least while the kids are at school), to continue working on myself and making some decisions about what I need to do for myself before and after she gets back from this trip.

I was also advised yesterday to spend some time this week to search myself for some answers to what boundaries I want to set now that she has taken this step (moving the EA to a PA on this trip)... What does that mean for me now that this has happened? I'm not sure what those boundaries need to be for me right now, but I do know that I need to consider the question carefully this week.
