Thanks Tumbling and Tori You each seem to post right when I need it. As far as the POA, still in its rough draft form - working ob typing on a coy instead of my phone. Give Jody, a heads up I'll be scheduling soon.
Day / night ended well. PMA was ever present, genuinely, not so much faking it. Exercise is so ridiculously helpful and seeing results is even better. I'll be using the no pain, no gain analogy to my emotional growth. Feeling the burn and growing from it. I've dimmed down with W. She did vent some that her grandmother berated her again, I think using white again, as well as her own mom shaming her for "putting me through this". She hates that they put me on such a high "pedestal" and admitted that's driving her away from me / to be independent. Grandmother watched our kids for a few this afternoon, hence the verbal attack on W; and W was intending on going off / setting her straight when she returned. Fortunately the grandmother left and didn't give W a chance. I simply listened and validated what I could. So that's it for now. I'll check some other threads and talk with you all tomorrow.
