Good ideas Mila. I have to say D14 is an unusual girl for her age-hates drama, isn't really 'boy crazy'..has mostly guy-friends rather than girlfriends b/c she hates drama..

OP- Have watched Parenthood-it is a good show..
I also have been enjoying the Marriage Ref-pretty funny what people have major fights over...enjoy the humorous look at marital conflict!

Found out from my lawyer that H's biggest worry in this divorce is that he won't have 50/50 custody of the girls..bigger worry than the money-which is what the lawyers have been focusing on...

D12 had a meltdown tonight and even though she's rebuffing any efforts by H to connect with her, she is so very hurt that H doesn't keep trying to connect with her.. She worries that I will leave her...I keep reinforcing in behavior and words that I'm not going anywhere..Anytime she feels rejected by me or D14 she has an over-the-top reaction. I hope she'll consider therapy someday soon, it would so help her deal with these issues. It seems so much for a twelve-year-old to deal with on her own.

I'm keeping a PMA and looking forward to a short road trip to Moab on this weekend with my girls.
