My answer is more about how everything is around me.

My daughter is teaching in her new school and really feels at home there, the way she hasn't since she moved to Delaware. This is a private school outside Columbus and it is lightyears more open minded than where she was. Delaware fancies itself as a liberal exurb, but open minded in rural Ohio is not what it is in N.E. Ohio. There was a school she interviewed at last year that she was asked "What kind of pupils did you teach in Cleveland? Where were they from; the sum of it was that my very white daughter was tainted because of who she had taught before. Anyway things seem to be good, but we don't know for sure. She is not in therapy and I have warned her that bad days and disappointments will come and if she isn't in something AA? She won't be ready for it.

My son and his fiancée seem to be doing good. So, not much to say there.

My therapist moved across town, so now i have to drive more than three minutes i was doing. I think she feels my social anxiety is at the root of my problems and wants to work on this..this could get difficult.

Kathleen and I went for a walk in the park a couple weeks ago. Then she worked with me a couple hours and i brought in a loaf of bread for her.
Later in the week she told me she made a sandwich for Bob, with my bread and i was devested. At best, it's silly, but it felt like a slap in the face; I haven't communicated with her since.

The marriage seems one step forward, one step back.

I feel like i just react to everything, but maybe that's what we all do.
