I’m back :(

[Card29]

I told D11 tonight. She asked about W again, and this time said she hadnt been here all week. Felt like I couldnt avoid it without lying. I told her she’s staying at a friend’s house for the time being. We both love her and S1, emphasized it was not her fault or S1’s. W is going through a hard time, and we’re both seeing counselors. Our marriage is our responsibility, not hers. I told her she can ask me anything anytime. I might not always have the answer, but she can ask and I’ll never lie to her.

She was upset but wasn’t outwardly distraught. She asked if we were going to be okay and if we were going to get a D. I said I dont know what will happen in the future, we arent getting a D right now. I said we will all be okay, and that I will always be here for her and S1, that they are my #1 priorities.

I told her that me and her mom think it’s a good idea for her to see a counselor to talk to. “Nothing is wrong with you, it’s just good to talk to someone when there’s a big change.” Said that we were both seeing counselors, too.


I did also talk to my mom but kept it brief. We’re currently separated and we’re working on it within our family. She offered help, food, sodas. Went into hyper help mode like I knew she would. I politely refused. I wont be talking to her much about it anymore right now until I’m ready and have some counseling under my belt.
