We chatted mainly about my work, his work and plans for a new business he wants to set up.

Interestingly, he said that XW had spoken to him recently and was asking - after everything was finalised - "Should I text Dab35 anything? It feels weird not saying anything to him," and apparently she was worrying quite a lot about what to say to me. He said to her, "Thing is, anything you say to him will be a bit of a kick in the teeth." He was right lol!

My mum believes XW may not have been ready for M, and that pressure from her family made her rush into it (I mentioned before that it was a BIG deal for her to get M done before she turned 30. Her parents M at 18, her sister at 22/23). Anyway, it is what it is now. It is good to discuss stuff like this with my family, but I'll keep it between us and don't moan about XW to friends etc. I know I've sorted myself out. Frustratingly, XW even said to "I have no doubt that you can change and get better" which made the whole D process more galling.

I just said I'm doing really well, and how my health and confidence has improved recently. That's about it.

Busy weekend lined up with stuff to do, so GAL still in full flow.
