job and hamburg: Thank you both for the reminder. I just can't help it sometimes. I tend to forget that she's not her normal self. It is quite a bumpy ride indeed (and getting bumpier).
I just miss my family being together like how it was. All these changes are going too fast for me. Sigh.
Thing is, you are accustomed to having an argument, making up and carrying on as usual. This will not be the case for the foreseeable future. Don't take any bait, keep quiet and work on yourself. Keep expectations to zero. It cuts deep when you send a text or say something nice and get nothing in return. I'm 8 months post BD and still get ghosted, even with normal day-to-day type conversations. Now, we are in a nuclear war so that is to be expected. It's hard but you will make it out a better person.
