I haven't been here in a long time. I'm very busy and have received a lot of positive press (front page of the paper again!!!!!!). I'm now involved in the startup, a real estate project, a community project, multiple social movements and a job. To say I've been busy is an understatement.
I have continued to harbor an inclusive relationship with my kids and have focused on being me, being busy and living a life I can be proud of.
As for X. Not my circus not my monkeys. I have removed myself as much as I possibly can. I don't respond to anything without thinking first. I am working with her as needed but not extra on getting the kids into schools. Greetings and salutations just returned into email and text correspondence. I guess thats a win. The kids are still saying things about us as a family, which I find odd at this stage (its been a long time), however, I only reinforce that it is okay to feel however they feel (I want to encourage them to talk about their feelings and I try to support that) and then slide out of the conversation or change conversations. I'm trying to practice non-violent communication but it is difficult for me as being the LBS. I'm thinking about her less, my life and kids more often. But I'm still not out of the dark yet.
As for other women. There are interests and some more interested in me then the other way around.
