Spoke with Mother in law this morning, she told me she didnt get a chance to speak with w last night. She suggested that I ask w to go out tonight and just sit and have a drink. Not talk about R or kids or anything to do with what has been going on. I told her that I was not sure that was the best thing to do right now. She said she understood, but didnt feel it would hurt anything.

I posted yesterday about this same issue, funny I thought about the same thing asking her out for dinner or such. Still think it may be to soon, or maybe I dont want to be let down by her answer. Or maybe with that I would want more to soon, and kill the patience I have been working on.

I know w is close to a point of wanting to get back to what she lost, I read on hear yesterday, where WAW do not let pride get in the way, and they will use any excuse they can find to come back, finances, kids, work or whatever. I think she would use the kids if anything. She has been making more and more comments to her mom and family about missing the kids so much.

I think at this point I will have to wait it out and let her continue her battle. Unless anyone has been in this position with a positive outcome, I would love to hear about it.
