Talked to Dotty last night on the phone for about an hour. She, of course, said a lot of the same things I've been reading here. I know I have to be patient, and that seems to be the hardest part in all of this. I still feel like I'm running out of time. I know it took months or years to get into this mess, and will maybe take as long to get out. The main thing is to take care of myself, my kids, and have patience-patience-patience. Hard-hard-hard! Nothing worth having comes easy, right?!
Last night, W was in bad mood. Not only me, but kids as well. I got the kids ready for bed while she did laundry. Helped her fold some clothes and tried small talk. Not much in return. We watched the news together and I got up to go to bed. I gave her a kiss and asked if she was coming to bed. She said in a little while. She slept on the couch all night. Same thing this morning, short with kids and me. I helped get kids off to school, and got ready myself. All the while laughing with the kids and acting happy. She gave me a kiss goodbye and told me to be careful, and off I went. Again-up and down, up and down. You guys have told me to expect that but sure wish I understood it a little more.
