Missing her

[RonD]

Thanks, dday, Having hope and keeping my spirits up is the hardest part right now. Had a pleasant, safe phone call from her last night and she texted me this AM about my sons soccer game this afternoon. Don't want to read to much into it but we do still have a friendship. And last night I took my grandson for the night to give her a break (daughter is too busy running around with friends to be much of a mother). I think our big difference of opinion on how to parent my daughter was the straw that broke the camel's back for her. XW enabled the daughter from the time she was 12; I wanted to be more of a strict parent and try to steer her away from trouble. And it's REALLY hard now NOT to tell XW "I told you so"; I did plenty of that already. All I can do now is try to help.
