SMQ, no Bobbitt - that just plain hurts to even think about.
Little more happend this afternoon. There was a call to discuss s10 at doctors (which I had not invited her to, but s10 called her), she reminded me she was mulling over the D papers (trying to regain control) I reminded her that was not an issue for me. She switched gears and then complimented me on becomming an "extrodinary father." (this was an initital point of contention, that I was not spending as much quality time with the kids and that my parenting skills needed help.) She was right that I needed help being a better dad - too much time on the road, but it was nice to hear her say that. However, I told her instead that I appreciated it and that it was good to know that my children would get to see the benefit of that. Then I told her I needed to go, I had things to do.
Not perfect, but getting better. Let's see how tomorrow goes. For me, it will go well. Swimming in the morning. Can't beat that.
You can always say thank you when they say something nice about you, learn to accept a compliment and smile, showing appreciation is a good thing.
