Never really know how the 180s land with her. Her overall affect never changed and she just ducked into her new car and drove off. I did not text her about the L at all. I will not bring it up ever. Knowing that dropping off our S probably bummed her out I sent her a message a few hours after she left, after I spent some time with S. "I can tell you are doing a good job with him. You are an awesome mom, W. I always knew you would be :)". Aaaaand, she didn't respond. She responded MUCH later telling me that the CD that I gave her with his school pictures on it didn't work in her MacBook. No mention of the compliment, though I didn't expect anything. As you recall from an earlier post, I never complimented her enough. Since I only really talk to her about the baby, I figured I would compliment her on her work with him. 180? Too much?
Thanks for your reply, NLW. Doing my best to make some meaningful changes based on last weeks introspection. Gonna take more patience than I can imagine.
