a 180 you didn't list was that you won't initiate any R talk. That's a nice specific one too, as opposed to saying you'll be "more supportive" of w. Most of your 180's sounded a tad general to me. Not "bad" but so general I'm not sure how you'd measure them.
I see, I guess I write down the general, but do the specific. like "be supportive of my W's career" my action is - negotiation with my W one night a week that she could work late worry free. When she got home I wouldn't get on her case about work. No r talk is good No crying in front of W, maybe?

Running can be mentally stimulating. But admittedly this is an area where I struggle. With 2 small kids at home, it can be hard sometimes. I'm not interested in taking a class, learning a new sport/skill, meeting new people. Ill think on this
My attempt at GAL last year was a failure. why? I was taking classes on how to be a guardian ad litem for kids in contested divorces. yeah not smart.
