I am not too concerned about her thinking D...my gut says she won't, her actions say she won't and that she would have left already if she was determined...but I have learned (man, have I learned) to expect the unexpected and realize nothing is ever off the table, including jumping back in the tunnel...so just a safety reality byte in the back of my mind. I don't give it much energy at all. Just acknowledge it is there.

What is it she thinks you are trying too hard at? How can you change that perception?
This just when I am being fun, happy, goofy, etc and it isn't working for her because of her mood..she is a Mom and knows what it feels like for the Mom to try to cheer up a child and it isn't working...that's all. It's nice to have her empathy chip functional again. And I handle it well (one of those 180's), I don't get all bummed or anything anymore.
And yes, she let's me know when my flirting, or quirky fun-ness isn't working, we did agree to work on being more honest at the time, rather than avoid conflict, or it's possibility. This is tough to do for both of us at this fragile time, but we are creeping forward in that department.
Thank you for your compliments and feedback...it helps the PMA nicely...
