Divorce Care started Wednesday, the day after I got the move-in / remarriage news. I missed it because S11 had a fever. I hope to attend a few sessions; unfortunately it's in the opposite direction of my children's new house. Fortunately, the classes stand alone, so even a few will be beneficial.
Maybell, I gave a quick rundown on my thread. Let's just say, while mindreading is verboten while DB'g, I've accurately called it all. It is a cold comfort. THANK YOU for pointing out that there are other positives besides a successful DB. Clarity is nice. Not having someone else question my every decision is nice. Knowing where every dime is in my bank account is nice. I have done a pretty good job of simplifying and stripping down my life, with a few steps to go (remortgage, home repair, paving the driveway). I have become a coupon clipper/ad watcher (but not to the point of ridiculousness.)
The only difficulties that I haven't overcome yet (but will with time) are the weeknights that I don't have the children (the pointlessness of it all and helplessness creep in) and training the doggone dog. I get her straightened out, then the kids show up and it's messes everywhere again! Almost comical. Almost.
Tomorrow, the kids and I will be going to a friendly local game/comic store to play Marvel Dicemasters and read (age- appropriate!) comic books. D8 wants some Spider-Man of her very own. S11 is interested in an independent title called Mouse Guard.
Life does go on. And someday, this will all be just a piece of a very rich tableau.
