Hey DW!!! My Son seems to be doing okay, he starts Advanced classes this year and this was a huge boost to his ego b/c 2 years ago we held him back in second grade. Now instead of struggling he is exceling in school. Both the kids are getting a little anxious about school but I think the routine will be good for them.
Summer is blowing by too quick. My D13 is big time into soccer and that has started up in ernest now, I love to watch her play, she is playing at level that is as high as you can get for her age.
As far as the sitch with my wife goes it is about the same but I am going to go way dim leading up to the date that she can file. As you can read from my last post, my daughter pretty much laid down a very clear boundary with my wife. "As long as you are dating OM#1 or any other man I will not have a relationship with you." D13 did it without emotion, kept her cool and just laid it out there. Totally pissed my W off.
You want to know the wonderful thing about my D13 is....she did it out of Love. I did a little GALing last night, and came home and D13 was still up, of course she wanted to know how my evening went. We talked for a bit and the subject of Mom came up and she said she still loves mom and wants her back and further more wants ME and Mom to reconcile and our family to be whole. But if Mom makes these choices then she cannot accept them and cannot have a relationship with her.
Wow.....my kid just did a Dobson/Cloud-Townsend Tough Love / Boundary thing that I have tried a couple of times and failed at.
Nothing else new to report but feeling pretty good about myself and the changes I have made. It does get easier as time wears on, I still have down moments here and there but they are short lived and not so often.
Happy Little Friday !!! Cheers

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
