I got through the week okay, and didn't talk to my WAH all week. He texted me today asking how I was doing, and I responded in a cordial manner, but kept it short. Even with such a small conversation, my anxiety and depressing feelings came back. I do so much better when I don't talk to him, but as soon as I start talking to him again, all the negative feelings and anxious thoughts come back. I'm not sure how to move forward with the process of the divorce in a amicable manner if I take 100 steps back every time he reaches out to me. I make progress when I push him out, as soon as he's back, even if it's for a conversation that only lasts a few minutes, I feel very weak again. Granted, I do not show him emotions, and I didn't let him know how I was feeling, I just don't know how to be stronger whether I am speaking to him or not.
