It has been a little over 4 months since BD and 2 months since divorce and D13 and I had the weirdest thoughts and feelings yesterday. We were washing the dishes and doing laundry when it occurred to us how strange it would be if XW ever came to the house. I don't mean in a bad way I just mean how much of a stranger she has become to us. It was not that long ago she would be helping us with dishes or going upstairs to what was then our room or using the upstairs bathroom. If she was here now I would feel weird if she went upstairs like it was an invasion of my privacy. If she tried to do dishes it would feel like the delivery person coming in and offering to do my dishes. D13 said "This is our home and I am not sure if I would ever invite her in." She then clarified that it wasn't to be mean it would just feel like inviting a door to door salesperson inside and letting them walk around our house.

This is certainly better than the pain we have felt and even a little joy in the moving on, but at the same time there is a little sadness in it as well
