[Gman3388]

The past 2 days have been interesting.
W was faced with loosing her car because we are behind on the payments. For 2 months now Ive been telling W what I have paid in the form of a letter.(I made copies)
Well yesterday I had to call the finance company as I'm the co signer. I then relayed the bad news to W. If she didn't come up with X amount they were getting the car. Her attitude went to the teenage route and she said well I don't know what we're going to do.
I said nothing....
After a few moments of silence we got off the phone.
Later she calls me, quite depressed but when the subject of the car came up she began to cry.
I didn't say much with the exception on I couldn't pay it.
I resisted the urge to point fingers and play the blame game with her because I know it would have got me NO WHERE.
Just then her mom called her cell and we hung up.
I wanted her to find the way to pay it. To grow up and be the big girl.
Again she called and after several seconds said "I don't know what to do"
I said neither do I (tone kept friendly)
again we hung up.

Later when I got home from the gym she was sitting at her desk and said to me "I came up with 2 options... I can either ask my boss or sell my old rings."
I got upset at that last comment. I told her that I didn't want to discuss the rings because it would open up an avenue that I didn't want to go down right now. And with that I went to the bathroom.
Seconds for she left for work she came to the bathroom door and said she was leaving for work and said "BTW I didn't mean THOSE rings" I said ok and she left.
Later she called and said she borrowed the money from her boss and could I come pay the bill. (we had until 6:30pm)
I said yes and I kept my mood friendly and light.
Hers was down but friendly.
Later when The kids and I called for bedtime she said she was finishing up and was coming right home in about 10 mins.
The rest of the night was friendly between us. Normal TV watching.

Tuesday she went and bought a few new fish for our aquarium but she didn't get anything without calling me first.
Tho Id rather she spend it else where, like on bills, I let her go.
Pretty much a normal night but a few things...
She didn't get very many texts or phone calls on her cell.
She even shut it off early in the evening.
She is back to finding a game she likes to play on her computer.
Same as last year.
Later when she went to couch, I said good night and before I walked out of the room told her that if she gets too cold to come to bed. She didn't say anything.
Today:
Good phone exchanges between us. S10 is sick and W had to pick him up from school today....
More later
