WAW Hired a Divorce Coach (Cont7.)

[Traveler]

I'm fine with it, its not impacting my life at this time and I'm aware of it.

I'll take your word on that. We're of course 1,000,000 miles away--or next door? The Internet.

The conversation with her went very well; we stayed focused on my son the entire time.

Great, a productive conversation about your son's issue, without getting angry or blaming it on the D. That's definitely a step forward along the path to detachment.

I guess its like pulling the scab off of a healing wound. Its not nearly as intense as the initial cut but it does do damage.

It may never entirely go away, but as you say it'll morph from a gaping wound, to a scab, to a small scar. Glad you're at the "scab" phase already where it hurts a bit less than the "gaping wound" phase.
