Counselor said that my Daughter is saying she is just not ready to see her mom with someone else or spend so much time with them.
Ex Showed up at Lacrosse tonight.
We talked a little she wanted to know about Daughters counseling I suggested that she book her own appointment and see. She pressed me to to tell her more I said that would be betraying a trust...
She pressed some more... for the first time EVER I said to her look its normally me being told by you that your pushing me... please back off...
She said I just need help here...
I have made some changes are they helping ?
I said "It's a good start"
She got snippy about that.
So I said ok here's the core issue "More YOU Less HIM"
She got cranky and said "He's allready a Ghost right now what more does she want..."
I said are you mad at me or just venting ?
She replied venting.
We had some of our patented witty banter and were heading out. I invited her to come over and visit the kids some more tonight.
We talked some R talk I expressed my feelings she said what she was the most frightened of... "Failure" - Trying again and messing it up.
On the way out she said she needed groceries and had to cook supper. We did to so I offered for all of us to go together.
She agreed!!
We went got Groc.s laughed chatted i gave her space while getting my own and stayed close while she was getting hers.
Paid headed out stood by waited for her to say bye to the kids.
She turned and said to me "That was very nice thank-you"
She hopped in her Car and headed out.
My daughter commented to me on the way home that she really liked doing that together with all of us.
