Had a good weekend. My son did phenomenal at his gym meet (fifth overall in the state for his division). I avoided my ex while he was competing and just took a ton of pictures. I told him several times during the competition how proud I was of him.

My daughter is currently in therapy and I’m in the waiting room. She opted to stay home during my son’s gym meet yesterday. I apologized to her for dumping my feelings on to her and promised I wouldn’t do it again. She signed up to start taking firefighter classes this summer!! We talked some about her academic classes and her friends. I thanked her for taking the time to talk to a therapist today too.

I do have some female validation needs but they are starting to fade. I wanted to tell my ex she looked amazing yesterday but didn’t.
