Last weekend ExA mentioned to me that I could go Trick or Treating with them if i wanted to. Immediately i told her that i will come by and see them but that i cannot go out with them.... pretending to be a family again would take a week of recovery (i didn't tell her that part).
She looked confused momentarily, then accepted it. She understands, for the most part.
My psych med counselor, or, The Best Nurse Practitioner in the World, as i have come to know her, asked, "Why would she think that that was okay to ask?"
If i could answer that, i'd probably still be married. Still, i tried.
"Because for her, life goes on, no matter what someone else might be feeling."
