Status 2 - W friendlier but still very distant

[fb2]

W2G,

I see that you mentioned no contact with W for a couple of days.. How often are the two of you usually getting in touch.. either by phone, in person or over email/txt? And which of you tends to go out of the way to speak to the other?

During Jan and Feb '08 I've kept up contact by talking to her on the phone and arranging brief meetings about once every 1-2 weeks in a cafe/restaurant. I've arranged ALL the meetings mostly to suit her convenience and they've been on the pretext of S7's progress at school; she's never refused to meet though so I thought it was a good thing. She been friendlier since late Dec or early Jan. In January SHE did most of the phone calls almost every day and chatted about shoes, ships and sealing wax; but of late she does not call much so I have to keep up the contact but I call very sparingly in order not to push.

During Nov and Dec she was much more hostile; I could not talk to her on the phone for more than a couple of minutes without having to call a timeout much less meet in person. She does not respond to or acknowledge e-mails except if they make her really mad which has happened very rarely so I've stopped e-mailing except if its something I need to have a paper trail of - like a reminder about a doctor's appointment for the kids. I persisted in setting up the face-to-face meetings nonetheless and took it on the chin till she calmed down.

From Jul-Oct there was almost total darkness; she moved out of the house in June.
