Well, I hit two days. That was it. Well, does my forwarding an email from D11's teacher Thursday count? She had responded to it, but I did NOT respond any further.
That doesn't count in my book anyway. A forward of an email re: to the kids doesn't count. I see what you're saying that she calls & talks and you're not talking as much, but I think it would be even better if about halfway through your talk say something like "anything else I need to know about the kids?" b/c after the first couple exchanges you are doing more of a chat than a necessary info kind of call. Letting her chat away and listening to her is still filling an emotional need for her I think. Then be polite and friendly, but say "gotta get to work" or wherever you are going or can say you're going. Thanks for the call, bye or something like that. So I think that chat ended your nc in my opinion. Reset the timer and do better next time!!! Karen
