I stop by from time to time and peek at a few threads here and there, but in all honesty, it's been a bit of a relief to just not focus on it for a while. I believe I am entering a new phase. Not sure what that means. Maybe "healing". It may involve reconnection with H.
I reported last time that H reached out to an mutual friend (from our couple's days). Our friend is more than willing to be supportive, but is allowing H to do most of the reaching out. Wise, I think. I spent the weekend with this couple, and they assured me that they would welcome H back into the fold if we were to reconcile.
H reached out to another friend (again, one of our "couples" friends), to ask if he could use their place while they are away for 3 months. Today, H sent a text message saying they agreed. Two things I believe are important here:
1) H took a leap of faith, became vulnerable to potential rejection, and asked for a favor from someone. 2) He shared this with me so I know he is serious about getting out.
I do not know his plans for actually making the move. He's got to find the courage to tell OW. He will choose to tell me or not.
BTW - the house is only about 2 miles from mine.
D20 is doing well. She continues with therapy, and I continue to be supportive, encouraging, and uplifting. I realize that she lacks self confidence, and coach her on how to approach things that need to get done. We have a wonderfule connection.
S22, the graduate, has no job prospects - yet. He's looking into short term employment just to make some cash, and hopefully things will start opening up soon. But with all the new stuff going on, who knows!
I'm sad for my home state (which I will be travelling to with the kids in a few weeks to celebrate the graduate with immediate family), and i'm sad for my country. I fear for my kids future.
But, I believe God is in control, and He will prevail.
Life is good.

P.S. If anyone could point me to posts that talk about successful reconnection, and/or the process, I would appreciate it. I will need help in navigating it. If I look at the entire journey, it's daunting, but if I look at a few days or weeks ago, it seems hopeful.
