Well JM, you are right. I always live by the "plan for the worst, hope for the best" adage. I will be very happily surprised if things do turn around. And could embrace her once certain changes have been made, but I am moving my life forward.

Brave words I know... but I feel that I can do better. Not better as in another woman or better than her (which I could if I tried) but better than I was before. It is interesting to see or to think about what CAN happen. But it is the stuff that does happen that really makes you think. Her showing emotions the other night really threw me. She had not done that yet. Tonight when I picked up my boys, she actually got upset during the exchange. Not at me, just upset. I know things are not right with her as the house is trashed. Her sis has moved into the empty bedroom. So that puts an interesting spin on things.

Anyway, I am going to try to keep it on the straight and narrow.
