You said I would be feeling a LOT worse sooner rather than later and that sooner is NOW. As I lovingly distance myself I am more sad. But, I'll survive this.
QUESTION: I don't know if my sitch is unusual from the standpoint of having a S who is making NO indication of softening her stance on moving on without me. I have a feeling that all is as it should be based on my circumstances, but I am looking for encouragement that although my sitch is tough, it's not THAT out there.
Regardless, I have decided to hunker down and choose my battles EXTREMELY wisely. Perhaps I will NOT fight any battles at all except for our children's health, safety and welfare. That is probably best.
BTW, I saw my W today at work and I as cordial and upbeat and "acted AS IF." Not overboard, no hovering, just friendly and helpful when asked. After today't e-mail exchange I didn't think she would be open to a congenial exchange in person. IYou see, I actually told her NO to taking our children for HER entire weekend and also told her that I am NOT the one who needs to make up my mind about our weekend schedule. Her response to that was, "Whatever." To that, I just say, " ". (I actually replied with a only.)
Confused? Yes, I am confused, but not in a real sense. I know the path she has chosen. I am on that same path grudgingly. Still, I maintain no blame and no animosity towards my W for where we find ourselves. She has to do what she feels she has to do and I have to do what I have to do also. I have taken responsibility for GAL and moving forward because that is what I MUST do.
I'll keep posting here and reading other's posts to offer encouragement and insight. Hopefully I will add value to the lives of others here. I know that you all add value to my life by giving me support, hope, insight, perspective, and encouragement. THANK YOU all!!!
