Yes, Ali, I'm just a DAM deep-down, so it takes a while for things to register w/me. The more you live the more things make sense.
In any event, she'll get nothing that isn't w/out a direct question (my friend Carlos is doing that w/great success in his sitch. By the way, where are you Carlos?).
I'm also going to need to not personalize her BS moves like the one she did last night. I called and left a message for D at 6:40 and then D called me at 9 pm. When I asked D why she was up so late, she said "You didn't call me, Daddy."
Broke my heart, but I can't control XW nor try to talk sense into her. All I can do is what I did, tell D I did call and say I'm sorry she never got the message. I also told D to remember that I ALWAYS call for her, so she can ask Mommy for my message every night.
XW's anger will hurt her in the end. For now, I have to continue to be my own man and be patient.
As Tom Petty once said, "The waiting is the hardest part."
