I've only received the DR book a week ago and although I have been doing what turns out to be the LRT, I'm still improving work on detaching and 180s.

I've also read a lot on MLC on this site and the unpredictability of the MLCer's reaction makes it difficult for me to gauge whether what I'm doing has an impact or not. Sometimes the same behaviour gets different responses. I'm also starting to get used to observing and spotting signs of change on W.

I need to learn to DB and see if it works, and adjust what doesn't while keeping the peace, for now.

Everything in this country is going to change next week, with the end of the Lebaran holiday. Bars and restaurants are reopening and W is going to start to work again (she hasn't really worked over the last month). Besides, I'll be in a house and D8 will start school so no more late nights, and mire stability. I'd already told W that we need to put together a schedule to spend time with D8 and help her with her school work. W agreed. When it comes time to put that together, hopefully it'll be amicable and I plan to try and discuss more regular visiting times so we all know where we stand.

Til then, I think it's better if I do nothing.

The OM is local. He's a drummer in at least one of W's bands.
