Thanks for the advice. i've tried in the past (probably too soon), in both letters and in person. She still appears set on ending this, though seems softer somehow. We have my sone's B-day supper (just us 4) tomorrow then his party at the Zoo on Saturday. So there will be contact, but I think I'm going to just keep up this pace for another couple of weeks. There have been numerous comments form friends etc about my behavior (improvements etc) and such, but I don't know what if anything has been said to her. I know she got into a fight with her boss yesterday about me, though I'm not sure the details as I haven't spoken to him in over a month. He was a very staunch supporter of me in the beginning. She also claims to have had no communication with her family in weeks, though I doubt it.
She came over this morning to help with Daughter's hair for pictures day. The kids were perfectly behaved, house was immaculate, coffe was made (she refused), and we left for school early. I simply said thank you for the help, as I have little or no hair experience (I keep my head shaved close). She said it was no problem, and smiled and waved as she drove away.
Retrouvaille is on my radar, but I doubt it will be accepted just yet. But here's hoping.
