Had a really good day. Ss 16 was competing in a regional dance competition. he has been dancing for a few years and I have never been to one since I usually work on the weekend. This time I was off so I jumped at the chance to go. It was amazing. All these talented kids with so much energy. And the music was amazing. S was dancing on the sidelines the whole time.
We drove there with Ss and his mom (exw1) and we ended up going to dinner after. This particular grouping has never hung out alone before. It was not at all awkward and future exh did not come up at all. Not because we were avoiding talking about him just because nothing about him factored into our day.
On a weird side note. . There was one troupe who danced to a medley of songs with "believe " in the title or lyrics. I was tearing up on the verge of full blown weeping. wondering how long I will keep experiencing these emotional tugs.
