Great posts from everyone here -- I can't tell you how much they mean to mean and how much guidance they've given me. I read a post here a few days ago and have stuck to it like glue. I've been super cool at home, make dinner on occasion and if she wants some welcome to it, but absolutely no pressure. Doing my thing but being very courteous but busy at the same time. Actively listening and asking about her day only when she starts the talking. Absolutely practicing the listening. I went out of town last night and sent a simple text to her and the kids that I had to stay overnight. Received a response from her, "OK, have a good evening". Wow, that made my night. Of course I didn't respond. I'm really trying to give her what she needs. Thanks again so much for the encouragement and insight!!
