Mishka, I have the girls tomorrow night and then this weekend.
It's my lack of patience talking. Every time we talk I wait for some kind of change in her inflection or tone. Anything. And when I don't hear it I get down. So obviously my detachment still isn't there.
At least I've learned to keep a good tone and just listen on the phone and not jump in and force a relationship talk. It's been six weeks since I did that.
The next step is consistently being able to handle seeing her.
On the positive side. D7 got her report card. This is the troubled child with ADHD who is in her fifth school in four years. This year she finally got into a program that understands her issues.
It's just second grade so no letter grades. She got all Ps (progressing), Ss (satisfactory) and five Es (exceeds grade level). No dreaded Ns (not at grade level).
She's off her ADHD meds now and I gave her a big high five. No matter what happens between W and I, I can now dream of D7's college graduation.
