Need advice for a WW who left Part 4

[dwh15]

Thank You Ancaire. WW came over this morning and picked up the kids to take to lunch. She had not seen them in over a week, and they were really starting to miss her. I know she was very sick, so I don't hold the last few days against her, and thought it was nice she wanted to take them out.

She stopped into the house for maybe 5 min and made some small talk. It's still hard to see her. I still think she's beautiful and do love her, and miss our time together as a family. I almost asked if I could come along to lunch, but thought better of it and bit my tongue. I didn't want to intrude on her time with the boys, and I realize it's not a good idea to set the kids up with false expectations about how things are going to be from now on.

So I felt a little depressed for a few minutes, especially with the house being empty. But I put on some music, got to doing some housework, and eventually snapped out of it. WW dropped the boys off 90 minutes later, and didn't bother coming in again. Probably the last time I'll see her for another week or two. I'm doing a lot better at rebounding from the emotional swings, but still hard sometimes. Friends who have been through divorce told me it will probably be another year before I really start to feel totally normal again. Ugh. But it is much easier than before, so I'll keep chugging along.
