You are so funny!!!! I close the door now (and shower when he isn't around, although he still comes to find me for the stupidest things...no peep shows for you!), but H leaves them wide open, showers, walks around naked...lovely.....
The tears in her eyes. Sad, but needed. She is seeing things now, you are not at her feet, pulling on her, you are capable of caring for yourself and your children all on your own, and you are moving on. I loved the comment about her appearance ("You look ok"), perfect.
Have a great weekend with your D's.
Came back to say: I think you are handling the phone very well. You are not point blank saying "I don't want to hear about your life, just the girls", but you are sending the message anyway. I think sometimes when we say "I only want to talk about money or the kids", its almost like saying "Look how I have changed...", when we know they aren't supposed to hear stuff like that from us. Make sense?
