WAW1978's adventures in DB'ing

[stewart10]

I don't know how to quote so this is the best way I could do it:

"It turned out to be a great night. Had some espressos and dessert and then headed home to my Mom’s. I was extremely thankful for having something different to do. I guess this is part of me GAL’ing."

-Glad to hear that your GAL'ing activities are keeping you happy. Sometimes it is nice to get out and do something different. A change of pace can go along way, at least for me.

"I get a call from H wanting to know where I was and why I hadn’t stopped at home. I explained I didn’t go to the house because I didn’t think D4 would be there and what was the point of driving 40 minutes out of my way? Turns out they didn't end up going to the movie afterall. Then he didn't think it was a good idea to let D4 talk to me on the phone. SO I just said fine whatever."

-I don't get this. He tells you that he is going to be taking her to movies right after work, and when you don't show up he calls you to give you a hard time. Then on top of it he doesn't think it would be a good idea to let your D talk to you???? I don't know how you kept your cool on this one. He is not in a position to dictate when it would be a good time for you to speak to your daughter. I think you have to make that very clear to him.

"We have MC tomorrow and honestly I don’t know if I want to continue. I have been despondent since last weeks MC session and am really afraid of how awful tomorrow will be. I know I should keep going to the sessions but it seems that I am getting more hurt during the process."

-If you think that the MC are helping you and your H, I would stick with it. I think your last session, your H started to see the light a little bit.


"I wonder if we should stop until I feel ready to continue. Any thoughts? I really like the MC so that’s not the issue and he is very supportive of H & I trying to find common ground and balance."

-It is good that you found a supportive MC. I hope that my W and I are just as lucky.
