My story, my progress, my hope

[Tinman]

This past Thursday was when I decided I needed to start the DB process again. The previous couple of weeks I started to cut back on the amount of communication as she had started having very short responses and sometimes no response at all. She might follow up the next day and just say something like "the boys were having a rough day after being with their father so I just spent time with them last night"

I should also mention that about three weeks ago she started hormone replacement therapy. The first couple of days she had a lot more energy and was feeling much better. Not sure how she is doing now as I have so limited contact with her.

I think I am handling the other items as best as I can. She even told me that the way I handled the situation with my daughter was great but it did not fix the damage done. With the x and the custody case I have kept most of that on the need to know and for the most part unless it is a big issue, she does not need to know. However she keeps a close eye on things. She use to look at the court website every day to see if anything new had happened and she works in the school system so she hears a lot from other sources.

So the things I think I need to work on.
- Giving her time to work thru things but she has told me in the past that knowing I am not giving up on her has really helped her thru some of this. So trying to figure out a balance.
- Working on taking out my GARBAGE! Resolving or at least improving my personal situation. Health, finances and custody battle.
- Try and figure out a way to connect with her boys. This one has got me stumped. I have done something to try and connect with them but they are so content to sit at home with their mom. They really don't need anything or anyone else in their lives.
