Hey Brian and everyone! Thanks for checking in. My sitch is ongoing and is on an upswing right now. Still separated, but I believe that W is truly trying to get herself, and us, to a place where we can put things back together. We spend a lot of time together and talk almost everyday... 90% of which she initiates. I have told her that I will be patient and have agreed to go slowly as long as she is honest with me and has no OM in her life. While OM has popped his ugly head up a couple of times over the past 2 months, it has been benign contact and W has been honest with me about it. I have told W that any backsliding on this will mean the end from my perspective.

W has told her step sister that she wants to give our M another chance, and SS mentioned the other day that he will be going to his old school next school year, the one he went to when they lived here with me. I didn't say anything, but think that W has probably told him that they will be, or may be, moving back into the house.

Still, I've learned enough over the past year to know that things can turn against me at any moment. So keeping my expectations at bay as much as possible... but remaining hopeful and positive.
