I am feeling down today after a strong couple of days. Is the 180/Last Resort Technique creating more distance and resentment between us? I know it is for me, but man is it tough. She just won't look at me or say simple good morning or goodnight or anything. I know, don’t expect anything from her. I am short on answers when she brings up questions about whatever...like asking me to take daughter to school over dinner last night as she had an early start today. I thought, I have for the past 10 years anyway taken the kids anyway…nothing has changed. I just said 'yep'. I now have trouble looking at her. Was she trying to open dialogue? Am I being too distant? My daughter was upset this morning. She spoke with her mother last night, so I only assume that is why. Last night she made dinner and sent my daughter to get me as it was ready...normally if the few times she does make dinner she never lets me know or sends one of them for me. Dinner was quiet and kept good face on for the kids. Could not look at W, although I think I caught her look at me a couple times….just not sure if it was with distain as usual as she turned away…it was obvious. W ate quickly and left the table to go upstairs. I sent a slice of pie with my youngest to bring to W. She ate it and put up some more decorations for Christmas quietly by herself. The other day she said the Tree was enough. I put out the nativity scene out the other day….it is a must.
