W and I exchanged texts about her health and I was always sympathetic and offering to help. She sincerely thanked me several times and told me to tell D she loved her and was sorry she wasn't able to get her.
I took D to my therapy appointment as I couldn't cancel it, so the session was pretty simple and my T got to see my interactions w/ D which is good in case the parenting evaluator needs it.
D and I also went out to dinner and had good Italian food. W and I had some light-hearted texts during dinner that were showing some thaw in the ice, but again, not looking too much into it for good reason. D and I went home, gave the dogs a bath, then bathed D, and watched the first 1/2 of her new Barbie princess movie. W had called while we were in the tub, so we called her a bit late at 7:45 and D left a message for W. I sent W a text to be sure she got the message and she called right back and talked to D for 3 1/2 minutes.
After talking w/ D, W texted me thanking me for taking D and I replied telling her I hope she feels better and to get some rest. I think it works that I respond to her positive interactions and ignore all the negatives. That may be what is causing this very, very slow movement and slight anger decrease from W.
Anyway, I dropped off D this morning and got a text from W saying she felt awful and was laying on the floor in her office. I replied telling her I'd take D again if she wanted to get some rest and her reply was "I don't know what to do."
I sent another text telling her to let me know how I can help and asked if I needed to take her to the hospital. Around 11 I sent a text to check on her and offered to take D to her if it would help her out. She replied to me at 1:30 saying she had slept on her office floor for 4 hours and was going to get D. She also thanked me again.
I replied offering to meet her 1/2 w/ D if it would make things easier, but she had already picked D up. I told her I'd call at 7:30 tonight and she thanked me again for helping out.
So, that is where we stand right now. I'm not sure if this will last or if it will return to anger like Kalni said. Either way, I'll enjoy the moment of peace and continue on w/ as limited of expectations as I can muster. I'm pretty sure this won't last, so I'll keep moving forward and not let my guard down too low until she proves she can and will be consistently nice over an extended period of time.
