It does help, Cadet thank you. I'm on this path for sure. Focusing on the kids helps a ton and I really like it. It's a roller coaster and I've had my share of backslides. I'll review my goals again and continue reading. I also have another coaching session next week so that will help to review them there also.

So now I need help in another way. Given the results of last weekend, whereby I did the soft confrontation which resulted in her reaching out to me Saturday night, and given she left Sunday (and I'm sure spent time with OM) and returning today. I'm struggling with the approach on her return. Light-hearted and engaging? Aloof? Ignore everything that happened (btw DB coach says I missed a bit of an opportunity Sat night to push for the intensive with Michele, so I'm looking for an opportunity to resurrect that as well - though likely not today)? Other approaches? I realize I am letting her control the contact, I just want to make sure I'm there the right way after this tumultuous week.

Thanks everyone.
