Great post. Yes I have read almost everything on the site! I'm trying to GAL, a bit isolated where I am. Learning to reach out more. Lots of workmates turning out to be friends to rely on. Keeping contact to once a week so I don't know or care what she is doing. Enjoying running and son's company( when he isn'out with friends). Need to find a new hobby. Cooking is a good idea. As for WW I think she is not so much angry as delusional. She thinks of me as a special friend despite everything she has done! I think her son's reaction has shaken her but she still doesn't see that she has left both of us. The advice and support here has helped to realize that I can't convince her,she already knows my good points but chooses to follow her desire for OM. I'll wait but not in limbo. As for practical issues they aren't so important right now.
