Hey kevin, remember the old saying "I love them, but I'm not sure I like them"...LOL. I think that saying has so much truth to it...there was a time when my mom used to say that about me, in my teenage years. That changed though, thank God. This seems to be a pattern that happens almost all the time with WAs. That is why so many people DB even when they think they should just give in...if they did give in too quickly, it goes right back to square one. Keep doing what you are doing now, working out, going out with friends, taking care of son. Try not to fall into that trap again, and when she wants to go to Walmart, think twice. If son needs to go, YOU take him. Hang in there, tough stuff. But you know what does not work. I know it is hard when they start being nice, but for the long haul, you need to change the way you are reacting. Like they say, if in the end things work out, great, and if they don't, you will have worked on yourself and be half-way ready for the world out there.
