Well I let my wife come and get my son on Sunday so he could see her brother that was in town. She was going to keep him until after one but had him back before noon. Our contact was very cordial and less tense then it has ever been in this thing.

She was very appreciative for letting me take our S on my day and for that fact that I'm letting her take him for 4 days next weekend to San Francisco. I checked the oil in her car and expressed my concern about the very long drive and our son. She says that she will stop many times to give our S a break. She got the maternity clothes from our house for her friend and I help her put one of the large boxes in her car.

I also mentioned that I was going to Costco while she has our S and asked her if she needed anything. She mentioned milk and wipes for our S. I did get her those things and put them in the car when she got back. She offered me money but I said not its fine. She was thankful and left. When we passed each other her look was not the angry look she has always had. It was somewhat sad or desperate of sort, not sure.

She then texted me the next morning about paying the babysitter which I was doing even though it is her week to do so but she is letting me have our S the entire week due to her upcoming trip. She asked about our family party to decorate pumpkins and stuff which is surprising. The interactions this weekend seemed good although I know I should not have any expectations which I don't. My wife did transfer some more money out of savings which I thought was silly considering she offered me money to pay for the things I got at Costco and she is supposed to be contributing to pay some of our joint bills but she hasn't.

Well I having been doing the LRT for weeks now and I'm hoping it is working. I think I have seen small signs from this weekend that are hopefully progress. Only time will tell.
