Daddy, thanks for stopping by. Feel free to come by anytime you like. I've read many of your comments on other threads and respect you very much. Thanks for pointing out W's seeming progress. It's nice to know.

Tumbling, thank you as always for your support. W hasn't lashed out at me in long time. *knock on wood* Worst that she has done is shutdown, but that has been my fault. Gotta ask, what's MA?

Tori, due to my previous overzealous / too hopeful successes, I have started a list. Also, W did ask "what do I need" last w/e if we were to work on things. No actual committment to the at yet though so I'm keeping it "business / friend like". (eg working on finances).

Journaling.
Have been doing some home improvements (minor, but mutually agreed upon) today. She's all happy and giggly (teenage like), as she shares that she told OM he is a dueche bag (so?), that she's going out with her BFF and getting trashed, wanting to post pics of her out having fun on FB. I honestly did my best at remaining neutral to all of her talks before she left. I think she probably read my mind that I wanted to give her a "high five" for calling OM that. Lol. Oh well, I can't be perfect can i? Right before she left, she did walk up to me, seeking a compliment on how she looked. I refrained, but then stated that it seemed as if that's what she was doing. W said no but feel free to share one, so I did share a genuine WISH, as she did look amazing. Anywho, I've been hanging with the kids, they helped a little with DIY projects; and am ok.

Hope all is well with everyone, or at least everyone is doing well despite our sichs. smile
