Unichen Im exactly at that place. I think that is a good thing that you don't want to be around her, not only will it help you GAL easier, but rebuild your strength and resilience to all these crazy expectations and emotions the WAW are throwing at us. It isn't going to win then back, but who cares. I'd rather be alone at this point, do things my way, rebuild my way, GAL my way. Strengthen my way. Believe in unity of the family my way, raise my son my way, and keep my emotions and beliefs for me. If they are so foolish not to realize how much we do, who we are, who we are becoming, and how much we care by our actions...Oh well their loss. They are the fool. They're the quitters. They're the ones that don't communicate all the unresolved issues, lose attraction, bury their feelings, seek private council, are guarded, dont do the work on themselves, blame shift and project it all onto us, break their vows. Etc...Keep moving forward without them. They're not worth your time or mental space. Its all about them, whatever they are going through, so leave them to them, and you to you. Become AMOAFWL. Because they will be the fool whether they ever realize it or not.
