You may be in shock. Everyone is a little different in how they respond.
You are of course right I think that must be it.
So update for the day still trying to implement sandi's 37 steps, on chapter 12 of DR and almost done with thread 3 of the LBH and WW
Since returning from her "trip" this last weekend she has been calling and texting me quite frequently (I'm ensuring I don't initiate) as well as physical contact...etc. I know this is normal in the waves of WW's and I have hopes but not high hopes. I have my ideal what would happen next but know that it isn't the most likely outcome.
My guess is this last weekend and the sons injury really shook her up BUT she is still maintaining limited contact with the OM so I know it isn't "over" I'm going to lawyer up before I say anything about this past weekend to her so I have all my ducks in a row before doing anything else. This weekend she legitimately went to see a doctor last night in DC (I say that because one of my stepsons is going so no way they would detour to FL for that one).
Detach detach detach is all I can say. I feel like sometimes when I'm talking to her I am almost like watching a movie of us talking if that makes sense. I keep thinking what is her angle in this conversation? I feel like a spectator in our interactions. When I first told my parents about our upcoming separation my dad said something like "don't let her pop your balloon, don't let yourself be that balloon to begin with"
