lots of sentimental dates coming up Mother's Day Father's Day my birthday I've resolved to disconnect your not have any expectations here but I think Mother's Day is going to be an interesting test as we may be communicating by then and she will likely expect something whether or not she actually says something about it.
You are already going there with your expectations. You are setting yourself up for more pain, frustration, and questions that nobody can answer.
These dates will not affect your WW. They will affect you! You will be watching her to see how she reacts to these holidays/events, and it won't be what you think. These are the type of things you have to shield your own mental/emotional health, instead of wondering about hers.
I'm relieved Vanilla is here. You'll be wise to follow her advice. Please read her posts several times. I am concerned about your expectations in communicating with your WW once the R.O. is lifted. There is a part of you putting hope in that communication. Don't let it prevent you from really hearing what Vanilla is saying.
((hugs))
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
