Thanks Pink -yes, HXW has been kind since BD. And I'm glad to keep in touch with SS without having 'family time' with H. It must be bit weird for him that his two X's meet up and are on friendly terms. HXW told me that - whatever happens I'm stuck with them both now.
I feel sad for SS though. He and his dad have always been close, and I feel that H just isn't really there for him right now. He will also miss his friends from our MH, and doesn't know anyone in the city. But I guess all of that is H's problem. I'm just responsible for my R with SS. It was nice though yesterday - when we had all hugged and said goodbye, he was about to get in the car, and rushed back for another hug.
I was at the bookstore this morning, which is always fun. This afternoon, I worked from home on a course I'm doing, then I was Mum-sitting early evening. Just back an hour or so ago and catching up on the boards.
Yes, I would say I do and I don't feel detached. In a practical sense, I detached right away and removed myself from the situation. I have also built up a life here that I am/would be quite happy living. And to an extent I'm more emotionally detached. In a way, I can't even imagine being M to H. But in another way, I'm not yet ready to file for D because then he would just be free to M someone else. That's the bit I need to work on - truly letting him go - it's a work in progress.
Have a good weekend! T x
