more ups and downs, I've been doing really well talking to W she seems to be enjoying things, the tension has backed off a bit. yesterday a saw a glimpse of her being a little bit playful physically(she walked by and tapped me on the back of the head a couple times and wouldn't move out of my way when I was leaving the kitchen). not much, but it does show she can come out of her bleak outlook every now and again. Last night, wen I was working on going to bed, she asked if I'd like a beer, I said sure, and we sat up until 4 a.m. talking about our lives as kids growing up. Today has been back to more of the same-kind of grouchy, but i'm not letting it get to me. W seems to think a pile of money is going to drop from the sky and let her be financially independent of me by the end of the year-says she's going to pay off her half of the bills, take over the house payment and not ask for C/S. yesterday, she asked me for investment advice to get a steady income from a large unnamed sum of money(I gave her my best advice as if she really did have it). We'll have to see if that actually happens and my question is what does W do if it doesn't? I'm hoping to have gotten somewhere by then so it does not come to that!!!
