Thank you for the confirmation for the day out - already looking to it. I like your answer to the WAW re-day out.
First time in 2 months that my WAW stayed in the house for over an hour. She stayed for 4 hrs in all. The idea was to bring over my first Grandson and let my boys see him as well.
I am unsure if she knows that I have seen my GSon more than she has - I am not counting, but she may be unaware that I have regular contact with my Stepdaughter.
But the positive is that she did spend time in the family home. The longest since she left. Another positive is that she referred to our house AS the family home to our son-in-law on the phone.
Very little occurred between us during the time she was here. A bit of small talk, and plenty of silences - but I was not going to bring up any R talks, and was going to follow her lead in everything. Perhaps she just wanted a unpressurized day in the family home..?
Perhaps I was hoping for too much. After all, her being here is a positive. Her not meeting MY expectations is MY negative. I hoped that she would find some time for us to have a R talk, but now I see that she may not be as close to coming home as I thought..... but again, perhaps this is just around the corner and any backslide I make may put this in jeopardy.
The positives out weigh any perceived negatives. She spent some time in the family home WITH me..!!!
She even offered to go out of her way to allow me to take my Grandson to see my parents !
Cause all of the stars, Have faded away, Just try not to worry, You'll see them someday. Take what you need, And be on your way and, Stop crying your heart out.
