The W has not attended her usual Wed. night bar for two weeks straight now. She also has been arriving at the house this week in the morning to help get the D off to preschool. She only missed one morning this week. She hasn't appeared drunk or hungover at all when she shows up.
This makes me wonder.... I know that wondering is not allowed; but still makes think that she's up to something. But I'll take the help. I told her that it doesn't change what I'm doing; but if she's not in the house by 6am; I'm still getting both kids up.
So I've noticed a definite change over the last two weeks. She's still not sleeping at the house; but she's spending more time with the kids. Not a lot; but a definite increase.
She's keeping the D with her all day today, taking her clothes shopping. She also offered to keep them tonight so I could go out. I'm almost nervous about that; but I'll take advantage of it.
What I'm discovering is that the more time that she spends at the house and we converse; I get into my head a little bit and try to get on the rollercoaster. But when I feel that, I go back and revisit in my mind all the horrible crap that she's pulled over the years. This reminds why I need to remain vigilant for the charm offensive that she could mount. I'm still too vulnerable; lovingly detached, but vulnerable.
