A difficult evening. The meeting was intense, and we were several who cried while sharing our stories or listening to others. But the connection is very special - we recognize so much in each other.
Then I texted with my stepdaughter, who told me that she thought OW was really very nice and that WH seemed happy and relaxed. A complete 180 from being so upset about her dad's behavior and lying. Turns out she wasn't really offended in principle, just felt protective of me. Not really what I needed to hear right now. I think I'm going to have to keep some distance to her as well, which is going to be even more painful. I feel so very, very lonely. I know I am lucky to have my son, but sometimes the pain is greater than the gratitude.
I should try to get some sleep, supposed to go to class tomorrow morning. I don't know if I'll be up to it, honestly.
