Well, what do you know...went to S11 BB game with S13 and S8. W was there too. She sat a few feet away. S13 and S8 sat with her off and on. S11 played well.

Then we went to S8's BB practice. This time, I decided to be gutsy and asked W if I could sit with her (the kids were seated next to her). W said she didn't care. So I sat an arms lenght from her with S13 between us ! W seemed to not mind at all. W chatted with boys, asking about their new phones etc. I engaged W a few times asking if she was OK. Anyway, this is THE FIRST TIME WE ALL SAT TOGTHER AS A FAMILY in 2.5 yrs...We all watched S8 practice his BB.

W even told the boys in front of me that she didn't want them to have Facebook or Youtube on their new smart phones. I agreed. She nodded in approval. Anyway. Weird,but very enjoyable hour. S13 and S11 commented to me that it was very good to see mom next to me in a long long time.

Good baby step...
