Just got a call from W. This could have been done by text.
About the dayhome and the problem they are having with the other set of parents behind on their bill.
10 minutes.
Don't want to mindread but.....
Anyway, I promised I'd post the "significant" things I noticed yesterday at the meeting-
-the crying about my statement "I love her. She's the mother of my daughter" She said she had never heard me say that and it was the nicest thing she can recall me sayig in 'months'
-her snooping for inexpensive housing in the same little town we currently live. I did NOT expect that at all.
-her remembering AND complying with signing the bank paper AND bringing the current paystub
-her "right now" attitude to getting our taxes completed.
-NOT calling the OM right away. No texts either. When I caught her on the phone, it turned out she was talking to Revenue Canada.
-she visibly "stiffened" when I said "If you end the A now, I am willing to discuss this further"
-she 'asked' how much was in the account as she was needing gas and cigarettes. Normally, she'd just do it.
-she agreed to comply with my interim banking arrangement and volunteered to continue to pay cable and phone (though not obligated to do so)
-she agreed that "we" should look at the other mediator, too.
-she had already got a "cash price" to get the damage on her truck fixed so we could get rid of it.
As I said, and in combination with the 10 minute call this morning, "something" is different here.
However, I need to remember that whether of not this means "something I did is working", I still have to "stick with what is working" and KEEP MAKING THE CHANGES.
Opinions? Agreement? Anything I'm 'missing?'
Thanks to everyone for the last 24 hours of "love and lumber"
