Congrats on your acceptance! That is wonderful! It is time for a new you and a new do will do! Figure that one out! LOL!
You handled the concert well - good for you.
Just one tiny concern. I think you still have some expectations. Not much, but its still there - I can read it. Keep your expectations at zero.
Do you really think OW felt that bad after the funeral? I'm not so sure. I know that maggot would have felt that she made progress. I'm also not so sure they would have had a row after that. I used to always think that, but experience has shown me that their heads are still stuck so far up their butts - they don't see things as they really are - just how they want them to be.
I think distance is the most important thing for you right now. NOT to make him wonder. But to give yourself some peace.
And you deserve the Christmas gifts. I hope Santa is being really good to you. Your girls deserve to see a happy Mom who is very deserving too.
