NC/Dark and having very limited contact with W has helped immensely in this process. It has helped me work on detachment and I am just focusing on my goals and figuring out steps to make them a reality.
W does sometimes sends personal texts that are mixed in with messages about the kids. I used to read into those but now they just slide right off me.
My D is having her bday soon and I am wondering if we should celebrate it together or not. I am definitely doing something for them on my own and D and Dad time, but still not decided whether I will do a celebration with W together. The only reason I would do it if it might be better for D right now, but I also feel that her spending quality time with me and celebrating it with me will be a lot of fun. I want to make a grand day out of it and it will be her time with me. Lets see.
