Thanks JB.. Meeee Too! Oh I'm prepared. My w has a habit of contacting me right after friendly conversations especially when she can express herself about D (odd isn't it?). She'll talk my ear off and then go dark for weeks. Part of her "It's difficult to have you in my life so most days I make the decision to not" feeling.
This time however I won't buy the ticket to that rollercoaster. I won't make the same mistake. Last time I told her that her dipping in and out confuses me. This time.. I just won't let it confuse me. I'll give me the power to detach instead of expecting her to step up.
As for the positive attitude.. holding onto it with a death grip!

Show empathy when there's pain. Show grace when warranted. Kindness in the midst of anger. Faith in the face of fear.
