Well I'm only on day 4 of physical separation (and it's hard) but I've chosen this week to just face it head on. Keeping busy around the house by myself, taking down pictures, cleaning, making the place "my own". Weird when you feel tons of anxiety as well as emptiness at the same time. Spent a couple of hours yesterday just walking in circles trying to "do something" but couldn't focus enough to actually do anything. A little better today, just feel the empty depression.
I get my kids back tomorrow for 5 days and then next week I'll make sure I'm staying busy outside of the house (GAL).
Reading everything on this board I realize that logically there is no quick fix but as early as I am in this I still have those hope feelings in the back of my head that I'm right (and my sitch is a little different) - but I get it, everyone is like this. Also, even if I was right it doesn't change my approach/goals/strategy to work on detachment as well as work on myself. Over time the rest should fall right into place (even if it's JUST detachment).
Moving forward...
IHCLACS... Sorry to hear about your sitch, that seems a bit complicated to deal with and accepted (IA). Seems there really is no boundaries to "fantasy land".
