As always you are right. After 4 emails, 3 phone calls and a tm (all from her), the W invited me to dinner with her and my son. We had a good time laughed and she talked about work, her family, her stress with keeping up, etc. I validated and listened and ate. I made the son feel special. She almost seemed to be flirting with me. She then went "shopping" for shoes.....
We had a kid issue today that she called for my backup/advice on. I told her that I trust her judgement, she's a great mom, threw out an idea or 2 and supported her call. I even thanked her for the opportunity to have input. She seemed very relaxed and happy afterward.
