Thanks, everyone, I appreciate it. Don't get too excited with my "logical" progress, my heart sank when S12 told me about the NCAA pool at H's office that I usually was a part of. The whole family does it and it was always fun to watch the games and tease each other about who was winning and losing. I am glad the boys still get to do it with their dad, but I do hate that family activities can no longer be….so, the emotional part of me is still got to catch up to my head.

AU Bob - I love your enthusiasm and I definitely need to reevaluate my GAL goals. Now, that the boys are involved in after-school sports again, I can't really substitute teach. So, I need to get back into my golf class and start studying for my teaching tests. Don't want to go backwards that's for sure!

I have been detaching for 5.5 weeks. While I miss when H doesn't reach out to me, it is becoming slightly easier not to fabricate reasons to communicate with him. Like you said, AU Bob, maybe that is a small sign that I am headed the right direction: that I am going to be okay and it is not the end of the world….
