Doing Well
So about 6 months in? Doing a lot better at passing her as we drive by each other. Honestly it has helped just to know that life has to go on. At the gym, and hanging out with my family a lot more. I hung out with a woman I worked with a while ago, and just had a nice talk. She has lived here for a long time, and will be my in to meet new people interested in biking and hiking and so on. I know there are a lot of challenges, but not seeing the ex has been huge!!!!! Talking with her tomorrow, and dealing with my lawyer as things move on. Honestly as awful as it is I must do well for my kids. No choice!
