I called W today to ask a question about something charged on the credit card. I wasn't sure what it was about. It turned out she charged her college books on the card. When I asked her, she was silent. Probably didn't know how I'd react. But when I said I was glad she was in school and doing well, the countenance in her voice changed and she was very pleasant.

We chatted about her school, about my plans to pay off most of our debts after I leave active duty. At no time did she bring up D. I guess I wanted to show her that she had nothing to fear about me no matter what she chooses to do, that I still care for the welfare of the family regardless.

I reminded her that I was coming up to see the boys in about a week, and she was OK with that. I just talk to her to rebuild that friendship. No expectations. Just want to be a friend.
