I will survive...or do even better!

Wii, glad you posted that about your interaction with your W and your reflection on it too. It reaffirms some of my beliefs in that regard and makes me ponder a few things. STBXW acts the same, she'll bring up something so I can just console her and say 'aww poor you' but I just listen, tell her 'hmm, that sucks' or 'huh...' and then change the topic. I don't indulge her. I try to pay particular attention when DD is around because I don't want her to ever think I'm mean or stand offish to her mom (which I'm not anyway). That's not a healthy thing for a kid to process. Kids need to know the parents can work together on the family issues even if we're no longer together.

Hope you've got some fun plans for the weekend!
