Approximately eight weeks ago, my W accepted my invitation to Retrovaille with a quick yes reply. However, she declared that there was no way she was going to participate in the six 4-hour post sessions. I replied with “o.k….fair enough.”

Today, I came home early from work b/c I was feeling a bit down. I was surprised to see my W home early from her NY trip. I cordially greeted her and engaged her with some friendly small talk. She mentioned that our Retrouvaille letter arrived and then started in with R talk. During our discussion, she stated in a roundabout way that she’s hoping that Retrouvaille helps us and eluded to the need to do what’s best for the kids. She’s skeptical about Retrouvaille working for us, but is willing to try with an open mind…and looking for a miracle. She says that she wants to do the post sessions that run through Dec 6 with the exception of one work-related conflict.

Needless to say, I was completely shocked with this discussion.
