Yesterday I emailed WAW about D's birthday and a few financial issues. She called me later in day and commented on me sending an email rather than calling. I said nothing in response. At one point she referred to my house as "your house" when she usually says "the house". Again, I made no comment.

I have decided to email (and keep copies) whenever I feel the topic is important from a legal/financial aspect.

The house comment was a nice little example of her "dbing" me and showing that she has moved on and no longer considers the house hers. Sure, it bugged me, but I didn't let it show.

Sunday night, D wants to have a bunch of friends over to celebrate her 19th birthday. I texted WAW yesterday to ask if she could help me watch over them. I don't want to be solely responsible for a bunch of drinking kids. She agreed to help, but that means she will be at my house for the first time in a couple weeks. I will be friendly and conversational, but make sure I don't do even one thing that seems like I am persuing, needy or clingy.
