D14 hasn't had any meltdowns and has been really happy all week. It does my heart good to see her this way after seeing her miserable most of the time.
D18 had some issues with one of her friends and came to me and said "Dad, I just need to vent to someone ok?" and started to unload her troubles. It was very refreshing. I just listened and validated.
I feel like I'm a better dad than I have been in a long time. I almost wish STBX wasn't coming back on Sunday night.
