Refuse To Lose, Part VII

[AliSuddenly]

Hey RTL!
I caught up at last.. WOW, well done at the party! You are a DB pro! Sounds like you did an excellent job, being calm, relaxed, sociable (which is more than can be said for your W by the sounnds of it) and making an effort with her friends. I'm glad it went well, for you, and for your D 's sake because it could have been very different.

I agree with you that the "lint picking" is a baby step and an unconsious action on her part...you only do that stuff to someone you care about. I have to say, my BF has never picked lint off me since we split !! But I have done it to him! Maybe its a woman thing? But yes, its what I call a "leaker" - something leaked out of her, regardless of what she says.

I agree that dont get your hopes up yet... but it IS positive that she texts you asking for help when she has a migraine. I guess she is just struggling with the enormity and responsibility of being a single mum with a D to take care of alot of the time? It is really unfair about hte phonecalls.. you said something about does she not realise how it hurts you to not say goodnight to your D but you would tell her this.. well I think you should! Keep it business like and friendly, but you should address this with her.. please dont forget the night time calls, it is veru important for me and for Grace that we get to say goodnight to one another? Just remind her of this responsibility to you. dont let her get away with it?

Thanks for your wise words on my thread, you are a big help to me, telling it like it is!! I take it all in, so thankyou,
