Like a jigsaw puzzle

[Squiggy]

Ok, let's go folks! Series of text messages again today, as normal now. This time I'll write them out.

W: My lawyer called me and left a message. she wants me to call her back and update her on where things are before she reaches out to your lawyer....what should i tell her?
M: How are you feeling about all this? Other than its kind of scary.
W: oh, it's scary as hell, but seems like its what we should do.
M: How is your hope? (something her and I have talked about)
W: I'm pretty hopeful. Still have walls up and can't guarantee they will come down quickly.
M:I don't expect them to. I don't know if you've noticed, but I have some pretty strong ones up too.
W: I've noticed, but nothing is impossible
M: Not at all . You and I, we can move mountains (a theme her and I started using)
W: Do you see us moving forward and leaving all this crap in the past?
M: I do. You?
W: Ok then, our family is worth the effort.
M: That's a start, because I can say you're worth the effort.
W: I do want to go to counseling. I have issues that extend way beyond us, and I think they contribute a lot to the bumps along the road (YESSSS!!)
M: As do I. I've been working on them and strongly considering going to individual as well. Btw, you remember that warm and rosy?
W: I've been trying to work on them, but with all the constant hurdles being thrown my way since i moved here, I haven't been able to do as much as I need/want. Yes (to the warm and rosy)
M: Seeing you say that made the warm and rosy flare up (part of Sunday's conversation). I do know that it is your battle to face, and I'll help you out as much as you need.
W: thank you. it's appreciated.
M: Np. We'll get it all figured out. Let's get him settled in bed and then make the decisions face to face tonight.
W: ok

Then I had to go into a session, and we haven't gotten back to it yet. She'll be here in about six hours, and then we'll be talking about an hour or so afterwards. My hope, based upon what I've been observing, is that tonight we will be canceling the divorce.

I'm glad she is taking much more ownership for her part of the problems, even going so far as to saying, twice now, that she should go to counseling to address issues.
