I think that i'm starting to get a response from my detaching already. Last night one of Lou's friends asked her to go dancing to catch up on the steps she missed as her teachers are there on a Saturday night. I said why don't you go, it'll do you good. She said that she didn't feel like it and never went. Once the kids went to bed, I wasn't feeling to great really tired, so I said I was getting an early night and went to bed - had a great nights sleep - best sleep I've had in ages. It's mother's day, so the kids gave her all her stuff and cards and there was a card of me too, she squeezed my hand, with a tear in her eye and said thanks. I made breakfast in bed so the kids could give it to her and then went straight back downstairs. I'm really polite and not cold but not hanging around either. She mentions dancing again this morning saying that she might start going Saturday night instead 'cause it's not worth the hassle going on a Thursday. I just said ok, no discussion on my part. I'm not getting any hopes up, but I think it's positive and I'm gonna keep going. Thanks everyone for listening and giving me good advice.
Happy Mother's day to all the mums on here :-)
