I guess I was a little out of patience lately. Okay, a lot out of patience. The good news is that she is making strides towards some of the things that need to be done. The bad news is that it once again took a major power struggle to get there. I heeded what was said about "how" I say and do things. I don't normally "lash out" like that but my reserves were completely tapped. A rock, I will never be, but I am striving to be more stable in rough waters. Getting crushed here at work but have been lurking periodically. Not much to say on other threads as the sitch's are improving or they are so complicated that I don't know what to say.
I did pursue the idea of the gift LL idea. We needed to replace a vehicle and we decided on the "loaded" model as she would be doing most of the driving in that vehicle. She was very appreciative that I catered more to what she would prefer over what was painfully practical. In the past she expected luxury, now she shows genuine gratitude for it. I think now that pageant season is over life will return to somewhat normal just in time for our foreign exchange student to show up at the end of the month.
