And so on and so on. I am starting to pine for her and the good bits. Was she really that bad? Have I over reacted?
I have to stop doubting my actions, boundaries and decisions but it's really hard.
I have read a couple of other messages about grieving tonight - maybe that's it I don't know but I do feel insecure and unsure
PS. This is week 3 of no contact and my son has not once asked for his nannie or grandad, which my husband and I find a bit weird. They used to pick him up from school twice a week and he would see them 1 day over the weekend most of the time???? |
The good things that she has done do not erase the bad. Not only that, but she is not concerned about how the "bad" impacts others...including your son. What are all of those good things worth at the end of the day when she doesn't respect your wishes for safety, sanity, and love within the context of screaming and driving while intoxicated?
Just a thought.
