I'm seeing light, now what?

[BeingMe]

I feel that as a couple I should try to do what I can with her if it's a common interest.

Absolutely agree with you! Keep that up! That's one thing I love about my H, is that he is very technical and can sort out any computer, home electrical equipment, cars, and so forth, in a jiffy. He is good at carpentry, painting, fixing gutters, lighting, installing floors. I tell (and told him in the past) him constantly that I appreciate it, but during his MLC, he said I never appreciated him, or told him what a good job he does. WTH!!!! He, on the other hand, rarely compliments me on anything, or am I in MLC and don't hear him! Eek!

Also D17 likes people to fuss over her.

Perfectly normal behaviour for a teen, but not so much a grown woman of 5 children.

Well let's see how things play out.

Watch and wait .... probably the best way to go for now.

Take care!
