Today is our 15 year wedding anniversary. It hit me kind of hard yesterday. Hitting hard today. Struggled to get out of bed both days. Not functioning well at work but I have a lot to do.
Totally normal as this is still very new to you.

You see the problem Scotty B is this text is all about how you feel and nothing about how she feels. She is gonna laugh and say "more of the same Scotty" If you HAD to send a text you could have said something like " I just wanted to acknowledge the day. I hope you have a good one". This is passive aggressive behavior that she translates into "emotional abuse".

Translation: You were radiant that day but you are no longer radiant because you divorced me. Passive aggressive.

More about how you feel then you finally say the right thing.

That was me. You don't need permission to feel sad. Feel it!

Awesome stuff!
