Hi Sandi, I'm sorry I started another thread, I don't really know how all this works and am learning as I go. Can I delete one so there is less confusion? I appreciate all the replies and don't want anyone to pass me up because I caused some confusion! Thanks for the list, I had read that in one of your other posts. I am beginning to understand more as time goes by and I read more on here. I get the feeling I am running out of time and want to see more immediate response from W. I see now that it's not about that. Like you said, I have to change for me. I never looked at it that way, but it makes a lot of sense. I am, however, getting in trouble in my reactions to her reactions. I realize if she reacts in a positive way to something, that doesn't mean everything is "fixed". I will be more consistant in my behavior and moods and settle in for the long haul. I am doing this for me and my family, not her. Right? Thanks again to all.
