Had father/son breakfast with FIL this morning. I didn't know what to expect but I went in with the attitude that I was just going to enjoy myself. (Remember FIL hasn't spoke to me during this and has never asked me to do anything before). Sat through mass by myself and met FIL/BIL at the breakfast.
Breakfast was good and the keynote speaker talked about family and faith, which I liked. After it was over I thanked FIL for the kindness and was ready to leave when he pulled me aside and said he wanted to speak to me.
FIL- You love my daughter?
M-Yes
FIL- Then don't quit. I know my daughter, she only focuses on the day and not the future but don't give up. We have all seen your changes and I have seen that she is starting to ease up. Let her know how you feel and don't quit.
There was more to the convo (him telling me that she needs to make decision, its not healthy for kids, that I made mistakes but I am trying and so on) but the above was main point.
I defiantly know that there is nothing I can take away from this to help my sitch but it was still nice to hear. My FIL did not have to ask me to this event and didn't have to talk to me about the sitch but he did and I liked it. He told me that the speech today was about family and I was still his son and that he loved me.
When I got off the phone with W last night she went to her parents house and asked her dad why he didn't tell her about us going? He said cause it didn't have to do with you, its between us and to mind your business!
When I dropped kids off with W today she followed me outside when I was leaving to ask me if I had a good time. I told her I had fun and it was good. She asked some more stuff but I didn't go into details but said I liked it.
