Yes, the boys heading back to college will sting a bit. Of course seeing them as healthy successful young men lessens that sting a lot.
My kids have similar insights into their Mom much like S21 does.
Yes for a good amount of W’s time, S21 and S19 are forgotten. People in crisis relive their trauma. Relive that time in their lives, over and over. Her kids didn’t exist then. You were not part of her life then. It’s part of their journey.
Another usual part is compulsive behaviours. It’s also part of the running. W’s TV watching falls into this. It’s somewhat an addiction, a mechanism, a coping, an escape. She needs to quiet those voices from long ago that continually torment her.
Exercise is my XW’s escape. She absolutely needs to do it. Like 12 or more hours a day. And sunshine! All day, every day. She is dark tanned and crazy skinny. Doesn’t look all that healthy.
You sound to be doing good. Continue moving forward and keep up the GAL. How was the fishing trip? Oh like that’s not going to get a fish story. LOL. Being it on. I asked for it. I can hear it already. DnJ, I caught one this big!

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
I can hear it already. DnJ, I caught one this big!
