Oh me oh my. I get to reading people's "piecing" threads and wish I were there.
Anyway, today: She rings right when I get to work, she asks about S incident at pool July 4th and then has to hang up. He pooped in the pool, freaked out because he had to leave and my Dad told her I handled it well.
I text around 2 to say car tag is paid, she says thanks, then asks about how S is doing with my folks. My Mom ends up sending us both pics and talks about his day.
About 8 she calls and I don't answer. Facetimes a little later, and I pickup outside. She asks if I've said goodnight to S, and I haven't yet. She asks where I am. I'm at O'Charleys hanging out at my buddy's bar again but I lie saying I'm having supper with a meetup group. "Great, I'm proud of you. One day I'll get out." We small talk for another minute, and I make sure to hangup first.
I forgot to ask about counseling/clinic and we end up having this text conversation:
Me: BTW almost forgot did you do therapy or clinic? Her: I have to set it up, but I will. Me: Oh ok. I worry a little about you for S Her: I'm fine, I'm just overwhelmed sometimes by all my decisions. Me: Right Her: You being mean? Me: No. Just don't know what to think sometimes, just try to roll with the punches. Her: I just talked to him (S) via Facetime, I think he was watching Wally Kazam. Me: He likes that show, now he likes Teletubbies too (Yikes!I wish he didn't, but he's so sweet when he watches it lol) Are you just in your room? Her: Yeah why? Me: Curious. You just seem content most of the time. Her: I'm gonna go to the gym Me: K
Weird. Quite certain the gym thing was just an excuse to stop talking. It was at least 8:30. Oh me. I know I'm not detached, but I no longer feel sorry like I have. The other day we were talking about a mutual friend. The girl ran away from trouble with her boyfriend, stayed with family in South Africa, ended up getting drunk and having a baby with an old boyfriend. Then moved back to the States with the baby. Right now, she's having contract issues about her job for next year and the baby's Daddy is here. I said there's a lot of drama with her, and WW said yeah. I commented that I felt sorry for her, and WW just said she's made her own decisions. I figured she'd have a little sympathy for someone in a situation not THAT different from her own. And a friend no less.
So, the counseling I'm considering is a woman with a practice in my area who has written a book on healing from an affair and specializes in marriage/divorce. I may call tomorrow just get a little information.
