The Lure of the Siren

[Arsene]

Just got back from my gig. I went well. Actually I got asked to do a wedding in January. Who knew?

Yeah, I felt like W was very pensive all day and that is good. Furthermore, she sent me a text to ask me if she could stay over tomorrow night and redeem one of her coupons (D8 gave her coupons for sleep-overs). She is actually respecting my boundaries by simply asking. That is good.

Re: the open-ended access to D8, it's the way I want it, for D8's sake, for the time being. I will not use D8 to make W feel the consequences of her actions. W is D8's mother and they both already feels the impact of this separation. I'm not going to hurt D8 just to make a point with W.

Even with this total access to D8, W still isn't here that often and D8 and I have plenty of quality father-daughter time. The girl misses her mother and she should be able to see her as often as W is willing to come around. IMO.
