Thanks Kat. I especially appreciate the reminder that I did not read W well in the recent past, and nothing is coming from my attempts at reaching out to W.
I had a good day. I had physical therapy today, and the therapist tried some different stuff to loosen up my neck. It has helped.
Then tonight I went to Divorce Care. The topic was Dating after divorce. They suggested waiting 1 to 2 years after the divorce before dating. The reason they gave was that healing has to take place if the 2nd marriage/relationship has any chance. It made sense to me.
Then one newcomer, a young woman mentioned she recently kicked her H out of the house. And she was beating herself up for her strong words toward him when he was drinking, cheating, drugs and going to strip clubs. When I offered that she shouldn't beat herself up over her strong words - she had every right to be angry and to express it. For some reason (it seems too obvious to me) she looked grateful to hear my comment.
