Thanks for stopping by. I am still struggling, so looking through the archives for encouragement. I went to visit X-MIL yesterday and texted XH a photo of his mother with a message from her while I was there. I do this every time I visit her to let him know that someone has visited with her. He typically texts something back, but this time he didn't text anything.
No expectations. Patience............
Regarding the cable charges, I have priced other alternatives in our area and have seriously considered switching. I told them that I was frustrated with the rates they charge me. I have spoken to them about 1-2 times in the past and talked about this with their customer service to ask if they could do anything about their rate (asked if they had any promotions, etc). I think their willingness to cut ~$24 from my monthly bill for 6 months was just a matter of probabilities. I called enough times that I found someone who was willing to do this. My local cable provider is Comcast.
