Thanks for the support - I don't have time now for details, but it went pretty well! We spoke of a few options, we talked of our behaviors over the past year or so... She said "I'm not sure that I'm ready to have you move back home yet..." What?!? I never expected to hear that. Did she just say "yet?" We spoke more, with her leading much of the conversation, and I asked her about our D date coming up in October, and wondered if she'd consider, with everything we're facing, and the way things have more recently been...if she'd consider rethinking the D date. We had nice, friendly non-pressuring conversation...and she said "I'll think about it..." She did say that I had been giving her space, and she does notice that I'm trying to change some old behaviors, and that she needs to improve some of hers... She also stated that she feels bad this this would break apart the family.
We parted on a friendly note, and when I saw her later in the evening, to drop the kids off, she was interactive and talkative with me. Very pleasant.

I called her this morning just to say "Hi" and wish her a good day with the girls. She sounded happy and friendly, and thanked me for the call.

Just the fact that she's at the point where she'll think about it is real big to me. Gives me hope.
