The party is one I had set-up at the skating rink.
Last night, I was talking about her taking daughter to her sister's for b-day party #2, which was another option she had spoken of earlier-She had originally meant it in place of a skate party, before the party was scheduled. So I said maybe d10 could have two parties. BUT:
I felt like such a heel. I wanted her to feel the family loss(which she hasn't really seemed to) and do the separate party thing, but I felt really bad and called her this morning. I told her that I felt the Holy Spirit was making me feel bad--like when you make a bad decision-and that I felt like she should come to the party. She was sounding quiet and emotional. We didn't talk much, and I got off rather quickly to get back to work, but it was a good, if short, conversation.
Last night I know she was thinking I was looking good and she was attracted. So I must be exuding some sort of confidence, etc. I think she was sad that I was not more upset about the divorce. I think she felt like it was sort-of finalized when I gave her her truck and motorcycle titles.
I do think she wanted to talk about my letting her go "so easy", and I was afraid I should have said something more--but:
I'm trying to DB and let her come more to me (and give up OM completely FIRST!) I think she's starting to realize she's not all "happy" over there and that's why she was seeing the therapist today. That therapist will probably give her crappy advice, however...
Even so, my admitting the party thing was a bad decision and it made me feel bad may make her think some about why she feels so crummy lately (her bad decision).
Does any of this look at least a little promising?
