(((((Merrick)))))) - I wish I had some words of wisdom or sound advice . . . but lacking that I send you a big, big hug. I'm sorry things have been so hard.
Quote: TKCC1 reminded me that there is nothing I can do, don't necessarily assume the worst, and even it is, she has to live with it--not you. And again, to repeat the most important of all, there is nothing I can do about it.
I am glad your DB buddy helped you out there. Learning to let go of things I can't control has been (and still is) one of the hardest lessons for me. I still struggle daily with this. I now find I'm able to catch myself within a more 'reasonable' amount of time, but still I do spend needless time & energy down cheeseless tunnels chasing what's not mine to control...
Quote: On the plus side, things continue to go well with the kids and I even had breakfast with the kids and W's parents after Church while she was in Vermont. W can try and demonize me all she wants, but I know this is more about the demons within her than about me. So I'll just keep on keeping on.
I'm happy your relationship with your kids remains strong, loving & a source of joy in your life. Do focus on them and on yourself and doing the things that make you feel good.
