S is back after a great trip. He texted his mum telling her not to come to the station. She agreed if he promised to meet her another day to tell her all about. I was able to keep out of the conversation which suits me fine. I was able to chat with S and explain that for me it isn't good to see his mum at the moment but he was free to choose the relationship he wanted with her. He understands that I'm not going to birthday and New Year's Eve and will do what he wants, probably stuff with friends. We had a great chat and are closer than ever. W hasn't really been in my thoughts. She texted asking for info about what he said but I just replied that I was washing his stuff and getting him ready for school. She must be realizing by now that she is peripheral to our lives at the moment. She has chosen a different path to us. Still trying to detach, don't know if it counts as LRT as I couldn't accept suggestions from W which are really cake eating. If or when her R with OM changes then I'll think again. Trying to be strong but hard after only two months apart.
