I need to be patient and not rush things. It's only been a month since I am now living 20 miles away from W and kids. Better than 900 miles for sure. I need to take it slow and not push issues, especially R talks...I have to remember this. Keeping me up tonight. it's 1230AM...

I feel W only talks to me when it's about money issues, but then doesn't say much after that. Silent treatment, more silent treatment. I try to engage. Small talk at BB practice, game, kids' swap. OK, so what would be a 180 I could do?...Sitting close to her during BB games? What could I do?

I feel she is just concerned about money, and here I am trying to work on this R, changing, etc etc. Maybe I am tired to be treated like dirt here...Maybe I'm just tired and thinking too much, so all kinds of thoughts creep into my mind. Maybe I'd better get some sleep and think about the positive things that have happened since I moved up here a month ago. Maybe I just need to stop here and stop the crazy talk and think rationally. Yes, that sounds better. Much better.
