Does D13 have a close group of friends she can confide in?
D13 does have some friends she has been having fun with and I keep encouraging that part of her life. I have pushed her to get out and GAL. She went to her first 8th grade dance of the year. We spent two days at the mall to find her dress and she looked beautiful in it.

continue to keep the radio off (I listen to soothing instrumental music).
Classical or instrumental music is literally the only thing I can listen to. Almost all music with words just triggers me badly. TV is nonexistent anymore because I can't handle it.
Tomorrow is D13's therapy appointment with her mom to set boundaries on what happens during visitations. D13 is very nervous but I keep giving her words of encouragement. For me personally it will be a struggle because it will be the first time I have seen XW since she walked out the door (except the brief exchanges of D13). During the exchanges I don't even come within 50 feet of XW and now will likely have to sit in the small waiting room with XW. I will suck it up because D13 wants me to be there for support. Part of me is very curious as to how my emotions will play out.
