Have had a great day so far. Breakfast came together great, even the kids loved all the home-made organics (when S12 asked for seconds of his oatmeal, we almost passed out). W went with her best friend flower shopping and they came for 1/2 of D9's soccer game. A few months ago, no way she would have come when she was "on the town" with her best friend. Then, they went flower shopping again and have been at the bar/grill at a neighborhood golf course for almost 2 hours catching up. I know that this was best friend's strategy, to get a few drinks in her, then have a heart-to-heart to try to get her to open up. It has been a few weeks since they have done this, so it isn't unusual.
Oddly, W left her Kindle here, which has FB on it and I haven't gone on. I am trying to live up to what you have advised, plus I feel good about what I am doing. In candor, I am very nervous/anxious to hear how her time with her friend goes though because I know what you are all saying is true that she could say anything, including disclosing what I have told her, that I know about tat-boy, etc. I am praying she follows the plan, but I know when two best friends are together, the plan can go out the window. If all goes well, she doesn't do this.
