I’ve been doing well the past couple weeks. Changing out some photos around the house, bought an exercise bike, more cooking, more reading/audiobooks/podcasts. Feeling more energized and more like myself again.
In anticipation of W coming back next week to collect her things I can’t deny feeling more sadness and some anxiety. Not about what the future holds but about what has been lost - for what feels like no reason.
She sent me an email today with a list of things she wants to take when she comes next week. The list includes very broad categories (mugs, some appliances, decorations) and would include many things that I have a right to as much as her. I imagine she senses that she is leaving a lot behind but I don’t want to just green light these items. I don’t want to get into a feud over Knick knacks and seem spiteful but I also feel I need to hold my ground calmly but firmly.
I will take some deep breaths and consult this wise group before responding in any way.
