Another WW/WAW, Need Guidance

[JAS84]

L cancelled this afternoon's consultation, so a little bummed about that...

But, I've been having a REALLY good day today! I'm still going to cut out of work early, and go do something. It's cold out today, so I don't know. Maybe the gym. Maybe go and hang out at Dad's house for a bit. Maybe just go for a drive, or have a beer and early dinner.

I haven't felt this free in years!

Had a friend send me some topic-specific children's books, and read a couple last night with S4. It seemed to unlock some of his feelings regarding the S. We had a talk about feelings, and how Mom and Dad would be there for him, even if we were in different homes.

I asked him what his feelings were, and he replied that he was sad, mad, and that he doesn't like Mom's "friend". I asked him if Mom's "friend" was nice, and he said yes, but he just doesn't like him. He is sad that he won't get to see his dogs all the time, and that he has to split up his toys, and that Mommy is moving out. He is mad that he will have to go back and forth between homes, and that he will have to go to a new school.

My heart breaks for him. I told him it will be hard, but that he can always tell me how he feels, and we can talk on the phone when he's with Mommy, and play, and do fun things together while he is with me.
