Fighting my way out of the dark - Part 6

[Holding]

JoeJoe, thanks for your take on the convo! I noticed you seem to be having a lot of problems with typos lately. Bravo, good sir, for trying to get us our edit button back

Everyone I tell about it mentions the guilt she seems to be having about all this. It's good to get others' opinions, b/c honestly I don't trust myself to clearly see anything she says or does any more.

What you said about the hug, I don't think I was being p/a about it. I really just didn't care one way or the other. When she asked, my mind didn't say yes or no, I was just sorta meh.

I'll try to take it for what it is and be positive where I can. But she's currently out of town, and I'll only see her 2 times in the next week. She decided a while back to take our sons back to our hometown for Thanksgiving week, without any regard for what my plans were. I'm meeting up with her 2 times for kid exchange, but she'll have them for Thanksgiving day.

On a different note, I've finished Divorce Care. Despite the overwhelming religious overtones, I'd give it a recommendation. The support group aspect of it is probably its strongest point. The focus on scripture is sometimes a bit much for this Catholic boy, and the last session was pretty much a commercial for Christianity. But overall it gives you a good roadmap to get through D with a healthy frame of mind. It helps you think about the future, how it can be good, and how you can try to build a healthy R with your X after D. It also talks about recon, but it doesn't paint an unrealistic picture of the possibility. So if you're thinking about it, give it a go and see if it's for you.
