Just had a quick, necessary call with the W to discuss kids' auto insurance. First time we've spoken in a few days. Somewhere along the way I've gotten much better at this happy, upbeat stuff I think.
I've also identified that the thing that triggers most of the pain at this point is the reality of her indifference, her desire to stick to "just the facts, ma'am". Then end the call with no nothing...no how's your day, etc. I see that in a lot of threads on here. The coldness is shocking. The tendency is to take it very hard. It's hard not to.
I'm trying to take her coldness as similar to splashing cold water on my face in the morning. It wakes you up, gets the blood flowing, enables you to start the day, start living one way or another.
