Poor baby, 14 stitches to her head! Well, it's after occasions such as this that your W will blow up your phone, IG, etc. And, you may experience feelings of an obligation to respond. It may be a test to your efforts in detaching, b/c your W will use D4 to get you to pay attention to her (the W).
Do you have quick access to something (list of goals, a recitation, quotes from the board, etc.) that helps you regroup whenever some occasion opens the flood gates for the constant onslaught of messages from your W? Perhaps it would help your resolve to detach if you had something that gives you a feeling of courage and motivation.

Committed to writing a book and coaching men on happiness, going to start a men’s divorce group. And work on changing the narrative of the fact that men have needs and we need to work on ourselves to meet our own needs. Not look outside of ourselves.
Yes, this is the "something" I was referring to in the previous paragraph! I think ^^^^ this is wonderful, Did. This is a "purpose" you envision, and your "passion" to carry through with these goals can give you the drive to change your own narrative. Having this purpose places you out there in front of the people who will read your book; in front of the men you coach; and in front of the group you lead. Wow! I love it!
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!
