GAL activities this weekend are very centered around S and making it a memorable one. Yesterday picked him up from school and we went to finalize his Halloween costume. S used his imagination and created his own super hero costume. He is now electric man😎. Spent evening attending our community trunk or treat event. Met up with some old couples friends whose kids are good friends with S. My GAL activities included 7 mile run, coffee with mentor, networking my professional contacts.

Today GAL plan is to take son to pumpkin patch, scheduled trail bike ride with another old friend and his S, and go watch nephews ball game so S can see cousins.

Sunday GAL plans are going to church with some new friends that have gone through D with brunch afterwards, going to S’s best friends house to watch football game while S can play, then having my folks over to grill out and carve pumpkins.

S has clearly been feeling the brunt of this split....and W has only fueled his hurt, anger, and demeanor. S confided that W continues to say negative things about me. I believe even at his age, he’s seeing the light and he will carry resentment towards her actions into his adulthood. Just need to be his rock.

All indications point to D process carrying well into 2019. Expect a lot can happen...W is a lost soul and has finally feeling the negative results from her choices. I will continue to AMOAFWL.
