Hope and heartache

[ClingingToHope]

Do we sometimes give mixed messages on this board? Yesterday, W had a terrible day at work and she called me. I did what Dottie (DB counselor) would want me to do, listen, validate her feelings, not fix things.

I felt very good afterward.

But I've also seen the message that I should be more unavailable to her. Only talk to W about kid stuff because she has to realize what D is like and that's no more support from me other than the kids.

So what to do?

Another up and down day emotionally.
