So tonight I had dinner with a lady I used to work with that I saw a couple weeks ago at a work bowling event. It was not a date and she is very my senior but we always got along and she is recently divorced and when I saw her at bowling she shared some of her story with me. Tonight was a good night of listening and sharing and talking about things we've learned, steps we are taking to better ourselves, etc... I realized the influence this forum has had on me as I talked to her about setting boundaries, detaching, 180s, codependency, etc... I'm no expert but made me realize I am learning things.
Anyway, it was a good night and therapeutic. Just like in the posts I read on this forum, people have different stories and are at different places in their lives/relationships but there are common themes and talking and understanding you are not alone, and learning from each other has a way of helping heal you.
So I'm off to bed but hope for a good day tomorrow. I always dread the weekend without kids as I don't have any GAL plans beyond going to my nephews bday party tomorrow night. I feel much better when I stay busy...need to work on that.
