A little update on the weekend. Had a great day with the kids on Saturday, went to the hockey club I play for and watched some of the games with the kids. There was a small festival at the club too, and the kids enjoyed playing in the pitch when the games were finished. Got home late, but D3 to bed and S7 and I watched Star Wars V.
Yesterday, we had a quiet morning but made brownies all together in the afternoon. Some friends came over for coffee and brownies. Had a good time with them. After kids were in bed, W's Uncle called and I spoke to him for awhile. He let me know how all the family are doing as I don't contact any of them at the moment. FIL's health is not so good which is hard for me as I can't do anything to help out. We talked about him, he runs a farm and is calving so I get to hear the exploits of the calves which we were able to laugh about. Towards the end of the conversation, (I had kept it away from talking about W) he asked me about her.... Had I seen her, how is she etc. The family are not hearing from her much. I just answered that I only see her briefly every 2 weeks when I pick up the kids. I did say she doesn't look so good and has been ill often but there is nothing I can do. I am just moving forward for me and the kids.
Their concern is that she could withdraw into herself, she has done this before. I just said I don't know and again there is nothing I can do. All I know is she is living the life she wanted away from me, how that is working for her, I don't know.
Felt more at peace this weekend, is difficult when the family ask but her decisions are her decisions and I do feel a sense of letting go. No doubt still have work ahead, but definately had more peace this weekend.
