Early Parole from the MLC Chain Gang?????

[Truegritter]

Ok I'm back.

My W just turned 39 so I got another year before she is as much fun as two twenty olds and no mind games.

So far it's been like three thirteen year olds.

Maybe if I bought her some video games, Ipod and her own cell phone I'd still be there???


Can I have a bourbon neat please...

Knob Creek, straight up brother.....

Mine turns 40 tomorrow.

No burbon or scotch here anymore. Gave that all up when life turned upside down. It was too much to handle that and whiskey.

Sooooooo missher ... how did Little Friday go .....

[MHL]

PEI,

Little Friday was great!!!

I guess you are wondering if my special guest showed up?????

She did not........Fortunately

"Fortunately" you say Missherlove?????

Yes, because my D13 went home with her mother and spent the night. They went shopping, and had a great time together. Mom can now shop in the same stores as D13, both like Holister and D13 said it was so much fun b/c they were trying on clothes together and just doing that "girly" stuff (Eric and Grit maybe you guys can tag along sometime)LOL.

They were able to go get other things that mothers should be guiding their daughters on, I have been praying for this for months and God has answered my prayers.

I was on the patio with friends when the text came from my W that they were going to eat out. The old me would have been pissed that I had bought an extra pound of shrimp, but I very quickly shot back a text "that is great, have fun". I can imagine that my W was pleasantly surprised by my response. I was a little surprised at myself, I am not having to think about my reactions anymore because my reactions have changed.

I have changed, the whole point of marking yesterday as a celebration, a celebration of me.

Did I want my W to come over last night......absolutely!!!

Did it ruin my evening when it did not happen....Nope!!!

I spoke to my daughter this morning and she is so happy, she opened up this morning and said "Dad, I still don't like what mom did and I honestly don't think she is doing it now (dating) but I still love her and miss her."

I simply said, "D13, I feel the same way"

I know I am taking steps on my journey, moving forward and I am happy about that.

Have I reached a point of full, loving detatchment?

Probably not, but that is okay...its a process (nickel, Grit)

Right now it just feels good to be making progress...with me.

Sooooo, Little Friday was Great!!!!

Does anyone need some asprin this morning???

[PEI]

Fantastic!!! All of it ... I have to say, as a mom with a daughter, I am sooooo pleased for D13 and your W ...

IMO, you handled it perfectly.

And yep, I could use a couple ... check out my thread for a chuckle this morning ...

MHL, This is indeed a prayer answered. So happy for your D's and W's reconnection!

[Truegritter]
