I always appreciate the support from others on this site.
My IC gave me an exercise to cope with the anxiety. I'll use it and see how well it controls it.
I also felt a switch go off this morning. I detached. Completely. I had a moment of clarity about everything and within minutes I felt myself detach and a huge weight was lifted.
I thought of some boundaries that I will establish. As you put it, SadHub, I will be stepping up and being a man. I've given her the space she requested, but I haven't been sticking up for my needs. I need to be with my kids more regularly. I will not feel like a guest when I am in my house. I need her to abide by agreed upon times.
