Update:

I met several baby step goals, had a very good conversation or two and even made the W laugh a couple times. There was validation, GAL on my part and me being a great Dad in front of the W. Just about a perfect day. I am going to really concentrate on keeping this up and the anger down. We should not have any more legal bombs for a while and maybe the DBing will take effect. We keep making progress and then the D process takes us back to step one.

We will see how today goes.
