Hi MMF,

I've been at this for a while. When the OM moved away it took the pressure off. Last year when she went to visit him, I shrugged it off. I made sure I was busy so when she called I didn't have long to talk. This afternoon when she called my attitude was upbeat. I wish our R could evolve into something more.

Our D10 is starting to act up more and more. I know its normal for her age, but sometimes I want to run away. I keep telling myself she's making it easier to leave. Then we'll have a redeeming moment where it's calm again.
