Well, today is the day. It's prison release time. I am dreading the ringing of the phone. Also I'm home today with a sick kid! Sunday we are leaving for Orlando for a week I'm going to focus on the positive and stay busy today and try not to think about my invading thoughts of impending doom! He doesn't know where I live. I don't have to answer the phone if I don't know who it is. I'm going to relax and do stuff around the house and try not to think about HIM. Everyone think good thoughts about a silent phone and the A finding his own way! Thanks!
Lots of well wishes but most of all I wish you STRENGTH. Hold on to your boundaries and convictions. Remember, you came this far because you did what you needed to do. You're calling the shots.
Use those Alanon tools to the best of your ability. (hope the sicky gets better too)

I am sending out those positive vibes through the universe to you. "You will have a great day, silent phone, healthy kids and a "few" yummy cupcakes that make you smile." LOL.
I am with you on this one. I know if and when the A goes to jail he will be in touch. I am pretty firm I am not going to deal with im anymore. He has brought too much pain and heartache to my life.
Is it possible today for you and the kids to be conveniently MIA? Like be at a movie? I know our local 5 star theater gives free popcorn and pop for kids under 18--dead to rights serious. So if I went to see The 3:10 to Yuma (which I did, which I recommend to EVERY1!) I wouldn't get free popcorn and pop, but maybe some kid I bring in would. That way, you and the kids can honestly do something you need to do. Also, you could not take the phone calls. Just know we're here. I'm so proud of you--you've prepped, you've rehearsed, you're ready to roll. GO GIRL GO!
That's right, you DON'T have to answer the phone - good self-talk there. What about maybe putting something right in your pocket you can grab if you need to connect with your HP on short notice? Even just a piece of paper with the words "higher power" on it - just something you can touch.
Good thoughts, white light and positive energy comming your way wether the phone rings or not, wether you answer or not. Your rules, your life. Much luck and love.
