The year of not my problem

[AJM]

Journal. Saw my daughter tonight. She was at a church group. I said hello, but she turned around and didn't speak to me.
For somebody who doesn't "hate" me, she sure has a funny way of showing it.
I've been thinking lately. Mostly because of ex and her trying wanting to talk instead of email. I don't want to. I see her as the monster still. So I don't talk to her. It's still not something I enjoy. I agreed to let her come over and pick up D passport in the coming week. Or weeks. No telling when she'll come by, although she'll have to let me know before too long. If the pattern holds, she'll say something in the next week or so to work out a time. I've been thinking about that.

I don't talk to her because I don't trust her. She is manipulative and often mean. Even in the emails. Funny how a little word here or there is telling. I've decided to take a different tack and respond back with the more positive language of somebody who is polite. Maybe she'll get the hint, since directly telling her hasn't worked to date.

Does this junk ever end? I'm sure it does, but how long does it take? I mean really? (I know the answer to that, just expressing it out loud

Peace,
