Yay! Thanks for chiming in girls! We will stay this course and when it reaches whatever outcome it does, we will be so much better for it, I feel this!
Thanks for reality check Breakdown. Expecting something is conditional, so I am going to look at behaviour as a gift. Given freely with no expectation of a return. So that works on both ends, mine because I give and it's what I want to do, and I will not expect anything in return at this point. His I will take because I know he hurts too, so if behaviour is good, I will just take it at face value. If behaviour is less than stellar, then I will ignore or have a chat about the boundaries. I really think introduction to OW talk will be coming up, so I need to talk with IC about that and suggest we see a child psych for some guidelines. That's the best I can do without saying " are you nuts!!!???!! This isn't gonna last you doofus, why would you do this to D??"
See? Not totally detached lol!
Tomorrow, afternoon, I will cry a bit, go for a run, take a bubble bath, read a book and wait for them to come home . I will look at all the prezzies from aunt uncle dad and cousins, ooh and aah and go to sleep , cuz Wednesday is another day.
