Do you have an IC lined up? Through all of this I recognized I was suffering from depression for many years and IC has been huge for me. I wish I had done it years back, but I didn't see that I was in depression.

Yeh, cutting out the scene with the other woman might be good for a while so that you can just focus on yourself without muddying the emotional waters.

Do something for the Japanese festival even though the situation has changed from last year. It could be good for the kids with the continuity and they can see that you can still do something fun without W being around.


Yes, I have an IC which I go to, but I cant see her for 2 more weeks.

We might do festival tomorrow. I have a bday party to go to for Ds friend.

I feel I am really struggling as a single parent.
