Thank you Jack - I didn't really consider myself in the piecing mode yet, but I probably am... more things to read and digest.
And Grace, thanks for reminding me not to assume I know what someone else is thinking. I'm doing better at that.
Some good news - I went out of town on Thursday for the weekend, and got a hug before I left. She had to stand up and come across the room to do that, so it felt good she was reaching out to me. Like you said, the consistency of her actions - seeing some good things there.
We talk a lot about the kids - D18 knows we are having problems, boys do not know. S15 is having school problems, not related to us, but more toward new school (from JH to High School) and a very heavy class schedule. He has tlaked to W about it, and she talked to me about it last night. I'll talk to son this afternoon.
Thanks again for the reassurance. I'll continue to monitor and start digesting about piecing.
