New LBS dealing with WW (Part 5)

[Joe2017]

Thanks Nicole. I’ll take a look at it, looks like it can be gotten online pretty affordable. How have you been Nicole? I know things have been rough lately.

I am alright, mostly. I have a lot of clarity these days, mostly due to getting away from the sudden and spontaneous abuse. That was the most shocking thing for me... this woman turned into a complete stranger and became the most vile and offensive person I’ve ever been involved with. It was really very sad to watch.

If all goes smoothly I will be done with this MR before the end of next month. I don’t know how to feel about that. I still occasionally have a small freak out when I don’t feel my wedding band on my finger, and then realize that it’s NOT supposed to be there. Then I’m sad for a little while but I get over that pretty quick. I have not made this D easy for WW but I have not outright stood in her way either. She still powered through it and it is almost a done deal.

Meanwhile, I have made myself into a new Joe. I’ve become more confident and assertive. My coworkers have commented on how much better I am lately and one even said I look really good since I trimmed down. I have not made many new friends, which is not permanent. I have only just begun my new life. My kid seems to be doing better and has kept in contact with S14, which I think is important for them.

WW still hits up my phone at least once a day but I just ignore it. I refuse to talk on the phone with her. My NC game is pretty strong these days. I have nothing to say to her unless she wants to ask for forgiveness and start piecing. I can’t make that happen at all, yet I can’t say my DB was a failure because I am not a failure. In the end, all that matters is that I’m OK and my son is OK. And we will be!
