Somebody pinch me. I feel like celebration may be premature, but today XH said in our co-parenting meeting that he and his GF are on the outs.
I am cautiously feeling relief. And hoping this is truly the end of this woman's presence in DS's life. Last month, XH had been pushing for them to get to know each other better, had her with them on vacation without informing me until the last minute that she would be there. I guess it didn't go all that well. This woman has issues (don't we all?), and it has been crazy-making to have her work through them by tearing my family to shreds. It sounds like she has had her fun and is ready to move on.
And now it looks like XH is being forced to reckon with his own inner demons, that were there long before she entered the picture. I hope he can make peace with himself and make better choices about who he brings into his life, and by extension, DS's life.
I had a realization earlier this week, when XH had hinted that something might be shifting .... as much as it sucks to be alone, I'm also happy to not have relationship drama in my life right now, especially relationship drama with him. We sometimes have co-parenting communication things to work on. But the emotional roller coaster is no longer there, and that's meant that I can focus my energy on building myself up.
So there it is. I had kept on hitting a wall, trying to figure out how I could accept a situation that I detested with every bit of my soul. But now it looks like I won't have to. Prayer works, ladies.
