Thanks Ann - will have to choose the right time for D11's C. One change I made is to stop the weekly "allowance" for chores that W had instituted. Now I have non-monetary rewards for good behavior like going to a movie, for ice-cream, etc. The kids now willingly help me out in the house!

W just called to say she was sick and going to see the Dr - that's a change - I did not sympathize or it come across as being in "control". She discussed S7's progress - I validate a bunch of her comments - I then told her something funny S7 had done and she burst out laughing - another change - couldn't do this earlier tho' the DB "coach" recommended it 6 months ago. Until a month ago W would be either attacking me or in tears every meeting.
