| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Shitcher, Jenny. |
| 0:15.3 | Thank you. |
| 0:16.6 | Jenny, I was just going through our first conversation. When was it? I don't remember. It was, |
| 0:25.6 | I think it was October, 24. And so I will tell you where things were at that point, because I wanted |
| 0:34.9 | to see where things were. Okay. So at that point, |
| 0:39.3 | you were semi-separated with John. He wasn't living at your house. He could see your son |
| 0:46.8 | when he used breathalyzer, no overnight visits. He had gone to treatment in May. And then when he got out, he refused to do |
| 0:59.1 | outpatient. And then you set the ultimatum that if he wasn't in recovery by the summer, that you |
| 1:08.2 | were going to, well, it honestly sounded like at the time that you were thinking about moving out, but he ended up moving out. And the one other thing that I was looking to see was, I was wondering if I had asked you anything about, like, divorce or like what you were working towards. And so you didn't say anything about divorce. |
| 1:29.1 | You didn't say anything about reconciliation. You were really just in a place where you were like |
| 1:34.0 | not trying to force an outcome. And you were just like letting, letting things play out, |
| 1:39.6 | which I think is is really healthy and hard. And you were just sticking to your boundaries, taking it a day |
| 1:47.0 | at a time, focusing on your healing and being a mom. So that was a year and a half ago. Yeah. Wow. |
| 1:55.0 | So lots of updates in the past year and a half. And yeah, even before this conversation, I was like, let me try to reflect and write |
| 2:05.0 | some notes and, you know, my notes looks just totally like crazy. |
| 2:09.6 | This is me trying to organize what's in my head because it's all over the place. |
| 2:16.3 | You know, I think picking up from a year and a half ago that I was still, I think right after that was my first contact with a divorce lawyer just to have a conversation. |
| 2:29.1 | But I was still really trying to see if I could make that relationship work. And he did go back to treatment |
| 2:38.0 | February 25 and left early. How long was he there? Three weeks, like a four week program. |
| 2:54.9 | And I remember, I vaguely remember you talking about the, |
| 3:02.3 | like maybe the sessions that you had together there. Yeah. So the same as the first time around, |
| 3:08.8 | it was like a different place, but they do like family sessions. And they don't really do in person at most places anymore so it was on zoom and and that's kind of what led him to leave the conversation with what does it |
