Since the ddays there has been a photo of each of the OW, dressed to the nines in her best, in the newspaper. This REALLY bothered me, it sunk me..
It made me feel so insecure and unimportant.
The newspaper took a picture of us at an event the other night. It was one I was proud of how I looked and I thought it was maybe my turn.
So then it’s not included but I turn to the sports section and there is OW#1’s son, winning an award.
I feel crushed. But I know logically, I shouldn't care. I have way too much invested in something, not sure what....

Call the newspaper and request and purchase a copy of the photo. Frame it and put it somewhere prominent in your home!!

Well according to MC I should pray for the OW when I'm triggered. Got nothing to lose, I guess..,,

I pray ow heals enough never to eff up anybody (mainly us) again and to leave us alone forever. I say that prayer to myself whenever I notice myself wishing her harm....
I just realized the prayer gets her out of my head...it really is a good idea, at least for me.

OOOH I have a better idea, call and request the pics of the two OW's that have been in the paper. Get them and have a cathartic, ceremonious destruction party. Have H piss on them, you light them on fire, throw the ashes to the wind, after you thoroughly stomp them to bits. Exorcise those demons. Literally and figuratively.
