Thank God for my DDs early bedtime, I have been devouring the resources and really enjoyed (in a sick way) the MLC for Dummies.
I had my first coaching session with Jody this week and my work is to 'act attractive', basically keep it light, no relationship talk, stay positive. I'm worried that I don't have a lot of opportunities for that given our distance and his work travel beginning tomorrow thru Thursday.
The only contact we have had since I've been back is that his mother is unfortunately really inappropriate when trying to help him and will email him what she thinks is right and what she thinks he should do which obviously pushes him away. He sent me a long winded email asking me to not divulge information to his parents and said that he is about ready to cut them off. I thought the email had a pretty negative tone and why I understand where he was coming from, I was still hurt. I didn't respond and about an hour later he sent a followup email saying he know it wasn't my intention for his mom to start up the crazy emails again.
Now I'm left not knowing what my next move should be. What I would love to do is offer up my parents home as a place for him to stay when he comes up to visit our daughter next weekend...but after reading all of this stuff, I'm guessing that is not the way to go? I am also a little worried that my positive attitude will tick him off given that this is supposed to be 'it'.
