Bit of journaling

Weekend has been busy. GAL activities included 7 mile run, Saturday morning men’s group, IC appt, and dinner with friend.

Today did church, plan to clean house and remove all marital pictures, gym, then watch some NFL.

IC senses W is completely lost and scared since I’ve gotten my alpha back and has absolutely no more control over me. IC also believes W is now regretting her actions and doesn’t know how to react to all the changes I’ve made in such a short timeframe and believes she is finally realizing what she’s losing. Advised it was critical I really take it one day at a time now. Showed IC pic of me from March vs now...I’m literally 2/3rd of what I use to be...and feel great at 170lbs.

On Friday W tried to manipulate parenting schedule to favor her. I held my grounds to maintain our planned schedule. W then tried to persist in placing S in middle again as a pawn about seeing her extended family. I replied that S and I deserve so much better then her garbage she’s continued to pull and my family is just as important etc. I then advised S was walking on the eggshells I did the last 3 yrs and it needed stop. W replied and acknowledged her behavior and agreed she was in the wrong...(1st time she’s apologized in 8 months)

My days continues to be better....many more good ones vs bad. I still think about W often...but I now have the tools to set those to the back-burner.

This week plan to start meditating and feel good in my solitude.
